Manufactured by Barnes as a front-loading version of their legendary copper X-Bullet, the polymer-equipped Barnes TMZ and TEZ are excellent front-loading projectiles. The TEZ is designed for easy charging in front loaders with dense holes and has a slightly smaller shoe than the TMZ to achieve this.

For what it`s worth, I initially had problems with the TMZ in my CVA Wolf and Optima mouth magazines, but the TEZ was easy to charge and fired very precisely into both rifles. I have a new KNIGHT BIGHORN front loader in 50 cal. I have a mule deer hunt in California at the end of November. I have to shoot copper bullets and I have a hard time finding the right bullets that fit that particular gun.

If someone has this particular weapon and shoots copper or just someone with information, I would really appreciate it. Very difficult to find copper balls in stock. Overall, it`s hard to go wrong with PowerBelt Aerolite muzzle loading balls.

With a plastic gas control at the base that expands to create a tight seal in the barrel, PowerBelt balls are easy to load and very accurate.
