Barnes Spit-Fire TMZ

[Lowedog]

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!

i have some of the 300 gr barnes, amazing accuracy outta my black diamond. Penetration compared to all lead is staggering and all weight retention!

What sabots were you using them?

What sabots were you using them?

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