Has anyone tried these? I have used Barnes TEZ and Shockwaves for years now. I saw these and read what I could find about them. Im wanting to try them but they are high priced and I havent had any problems with the other two brands. I have three guns so it would take several shots to get them zero in. My wife would prob appreciate the easier loading. What say you? Oh, they will be used for whitetail.

Unless you want to shoot them pretty fast or keep shots pretty close you might want to look at a bullet that expands easier. They are not solid copper like Barnes but a guilding metal more like the Hornady GMX line.

GM, they make them in solid lead as well. Those actually, in my opinion anyway, performed MUCH better than the solid coppers did. They held together well in the testing and expanded well. Penetrated pretty well too if I remember Ron's test.
