[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1585278, member: 95733"] Ajkellerusmc; I am a HUGE fan of Barnes all copper ML bullets as I own a Savage 10ML-II and push the 290 grain TMZ 's and my newer favorite the flat based T-EZ's at a MV of 2450. I have found I can not push a Barnes ML bullet fast enough to get it to fail and that includes MV's of over 2800fps for the 245 SF's and the 250grn T-EZ's. Three years ago shot a HUGE doe at 45 LRF confirmed yards with a 250 grn T-EZ quartering towards me at about 2800+ fps blew through the shoulder went through both lungs and shattered the last rib on opposite side on the way out Have killed over a dozen deer with Barnes ML bullets and about 14-15 deer using 12ga 2.75" Federal Barnes Tipped Expanders which are essentially the same bullet but weighs 300 grains. Of all those deer have only ever recoverd one bullet from the the heaviest big bodied buck Ive ever killed Shot was with buck quartering away at about 120 yards was standing at the time. Best I could tell slug entered in the last third of the right lung passed through both lungs found it in opposite shoulder it had broken. [/QUOTE]
