300grn Barnes expander MZ

[SkookumHntr]

Anybody shoot this bullet? How did it perform?

[bowhunterforever]

My favorite bullets I have shot out of my bighorn the only problem is there hard to stuff down the barrel. Just clean the barrel after ever shot and its not to bad.

The bullet in my avatar is what you speak of. Came out of my Dayton bull last year.Pretty impressive!

[SkookumHntr]

I would say so!! have you shot them out to 150-200yds? I just bought a pack, gonna see how my bighorn likes them, gonna go with 110grn 777 I think, normally I shoot 100grn but gonna hop I up alittle

[HntnFsh]

Just at targets. Very accurate! I use 110 grns T7 3fff

I shoot them every year, I switched this year to the 290gr T-EZ those MZ were tough to push down my barrel

I have been shooting the 250 knight red hot (best i can tell is it is a barnes expander) and the 290 tez. Both have shot great for me. Last night i shot both to 220 yards with great results. With 100 grains 777 they were within a couple inches at 220. I would not hesitate to shoot either at game at that range. Both load easily enough for my liking until after 5-6 shots. Then its time for a cleaning.

I am shooting the .54 caliber and have shot both a whitetail as well as a bull with the two different bullets.  275 grain and 325 grain.  I think the longer bullet stabilizes a little better.

the 325 grain fly a little better, but both have performed as advertised and look like the previous comment in the avatar.

My next trial will be the knight bloodlines.

I shoot the 300 GR Barnes MZ....... AWESOME. I do switch out sabets depending on the weather... They come with high pressure sabets and during late muzzle loader I will switch for one that is smaller. I am very accurate out to 210 yrds with it. I use 120 gr Jim Shockey Gold. That is the load that i found my Knight really likes.

So the weather can affect which sabot works best? Is it because the barrel shrinks a bit with cold temps ? Just curious,im a novice with muzzleloaders

This has been my experience.

I use the TMZ in my bighorn.  My bull (bedded) only rolled over dead.  Looked just like the above avatar photo.

110 gr T7 3F = a little over 1900 FPS.

They load OK in my BH, but VERY tight in my Rem 700ML

[SkookumHntr]

Well my bighorn shot the expander mz awesome, bullets almost touching at 100yds but could barely get the 2nd bullet down the barrel. I think I'm gonna go with the Barnes ez 290 grn. Anybody have any story's about killing elk with this one??

[PyroBlack]

The Barnes TEZ are one of the best muzzleloader bullets on earth. They should load slightly easier too. BTW, when using that much 777, swab after every shot and check your breechplug after every 3-4 shots, to avoid it becoming frozen shut.

[huntnnw]

I always swab after every shot.. Only way to get consistent accuracy .. There's a huge difference in how tight the bullets slide down the barrel from first to second
