I am wondering if anyone has had any experiences with these? I was using the TC shockwaves out of my TC encore with good results. Considering giving the Barnes a try for next season. Any info would be appreciated.

I've tried them in my T/C Encore.

With 70gr/Weight of BH209 loading effort, and point of impact was about the same as Honady SSTs.
Accuracy was better with the Barnes 250gr. TMZ (Yellow Sabot).
I also have tried the Barnes 250gr. EZ-TMZ (Blue Sabot) and they load more easily, and still seem more accurate then the Hornady SST in my rifle with the powder I am using.

Don gk- Did you use the aligner tool I see they have for these? Also did you get a chance to see how they performed on game?

I realized this season you need that tool. I tried out some Barnes Spitfire T-EZ, and without the tool I was damaging the polymer tips. I guess I will pick one up in the States next summer.

Hi,
I do have the Barnes seating jag, but have had better luck with a spin-jag.
The spin-jag does not damage the tips, and can rotate with the rifleing when seating the bullet-sabot.

Unfortunatly I have not had the chance to try them on game.
Recovered bullets from the backstop all opened up nicely, and lost no weight, other then the plastic tip.
