"The bullets were accurate in one .50 cal. inline but keyholed badly in the other. The one that was terrible had a 1:24 twist. They wouldn't hit the backboard at 100 yds. and were over 9" off center in the 50 yd. target. They entered the target sideways. They wouldn't stabilize with 90 grs. of Blackhorn 209."

"Shoots well!"

"I have used these for 3 years . I have harvested 2 bucks each year and 1-3 does. These have performed well in TC Bone Collector and CVA Acura V2. I use 77 grains of Blackhorn 209 by weight and black Harvester Sabots. I shoot 3 inch groups at 200 yds from sand bag rest. The bullets have performed well on deer with good expansion and penetration. My longest shot on deer has been 175 yds."

"I love the accuracy with 90 grains of BH 209 and Harvester Sabots. Great stopping power also!"

""I have been using these bullets for almost 3 years and this year I have killed 8 nice deer the most I have killed in 1 year in my life so if you are looking for a bullet that does some damage I would choose this one"."

"I bought these bullets cuz they are all copper and sighted them in at 100 yards and shot 1/5 inch to one inch groups all day long out of my tc impact with 90 grains bh 209 powder and I shot a doe last year with them at 200 yards and wow dropped her in her tracks turned heart to jelly and a massive wound channel I love them and shot a massive 13 pointed this year at 103 yards same results barns keep up the awesome work ."

"Have shot a 8,10 &11 pt. with this bullet, all three dropped in their tracks. Started with using 100 grains triple 7 but had to bump up to 150 grains to get bullets to pass thru."

"I shoot the 250 grain TEZ with BH209 and get outstanding performance. The bullet mushrooms as advertised...if you hit him, its lights out. I highly recommend this product."

"Barnes makes an awesome product and the bullet mushrooms as advertised. I shoot this projectile with the Harvester Crush Rib sabot and BH209...its a deadly combination."

"A friend of mine told me about these new bullets he was using and how much he liked them. So I went out and bought a box to try for myself. They shot good out of my T/C and CVA. Easy to pattern and ready to hunt with. I shot a big doe at 175 yards and dropped her like a rock. Big hole, great expansion, and penetration.

Looking forward to using them again this season. "

"These bullets perform great! Everyone in our hunting group has recovered every single slug out of our deer and pigs. However the bullet is a little tough on loading. Apply a small amount of bore butter before loading
"

"Very good grouping at the range with only a few shots to zero in my muzzle loader. I gave my brother a pack to hunt with he shot a nice buck. The bullet performed very well he is very pleased with it and he is going buy his own pack this year to hunt with. "

"Barnes are a good bullet without argument...they hit, expand and just make a nasty wound. I've seen deer take a liver hit and go no further than 80 yards."

"Barnes now offers a new bullet-sabot combo called their TEZ Line. The difference is the bullet has a flat base and a blue sabot. The blue sabot is just a few 1000’s thinner for easier loading. The bullet having a flat base vs. a boat-tail should not have any effect on its' accuracy because the fact is, a boat-tail on a bullet of this size is, in my experience, not really helping much in the aerodynamics at 2000 FPS + anyway. In short, I believe this was a good move on Barnes’ part."
