Barnes Spit-Fire TMZ
« on: September 06, 2009, 05:17:26 PM »
Bought some of the Barnes Spit-Fire TMZ 250gr Bullets to try in my Bighorn.  Went out and shot today and accuracy was really good.  I was just shooting off my bi-pod but at 50 yards I had about a 2-1/2" group.  At 100 yds I was hitting inside the 6" circle on my target.  

I was using 2 50gr eq APP Sticks.  

I dug 3 bullets out of the dirt behind the target and they expanded perfectly and held together really well just as I expected from Barnes.  I washed them off and weighed them and they were between 242-247 grains.  Hopefully I can see how they perform on a big Muley in a few weeks!

The ones that came with them.  I believe they are high pressure sabots.  They are pretty snug but not too bad.
