My uncle has the same gun as you and I am trying to get him to switch over to the barnes copper expanders too, how do they shoot? I love the barnes t-ez out of my 50 cal. was shooting 2 inch groups at 80.

I put a scope on mine for the purposes of picking loads and bullet selection.  I had it inside 2 inches at 110 yards, but I can't remember if I was inside an 1.5".  When I reverted back to open sites for the purposes of practicing and hunting, my groups got bigger.  I can't get the groups that tight purely based on my skill level.  I haven't tested the grouping of the 325 grain yet as they were back ordered when I had my scope mounted, but is on my itinerary for this summer at least with open sites.  for clarification I use a Williams Peep site.
