Recovered my son's bullet from his buck yesterday, Barnes expander. I was pleased it was in offside shoulder just under the hide.

I shoot the TC in 200 grains. I've said I would change to the Barnes if they cease production of the TC.

Those are great MZ bullets one if the best IMO. I now shoot Parker Match Hunters 300 gr out of my custom smokeless. My rifle session opened this past Saturday 🤭

Really like the Barnes, but they (250 grain) wouldn't group out of my Acura MR no matter what grain BH I tried.

I retrieved a 195gr Barnes Expander from a deer a few years ago and like the pics, I couldn't ask for better expansion and performance.

Here are 3 Barnes expanders 20 gauge slugs, they look just like above. I switched to them this year. Shoot great!
