250 TEZ Powder
Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2021 4:51 am
Now that deer season is winding down here in Michigan I find my self wanting to do some experimenting. I've been reloading the 275 TSX for a few years and have had zero issues with this bullet on whitetails in both my AR and my Bergara, but my curiosity is begging me to play with the 250 grain TEZ muzzleloader bullet. I've contacted Barnes about the bullet and it has a slightly lower expansion velocity, 250 TEZ(1100 fps) / 275 TSX(1200fps), and the BC is a tad better. Where I hunt I have the opportunity to take some shots at 250-275 yards quite frequently so the lower expansion velocities of both bullets are very appealing.
Has anyone out there reloaded this bullet with success? I have Lil Gun(purchased within the last couple of years) and H110 and have been using the H110 for the 275's and it's been great. I'm leaning towards that same powder for the 250 TEZ's. I've been reading through a bunch of forum posts, but have not stubbled across any info on these bullets and H110.
These will be loaded in my Bergara B14 HMR, so I've got plenty of space in the magazine to load longer, which I do on the 275's. I have a pile of Rem 7 1/2 primers and plenty of once fired Hornady brass. I'm waiting on a new base and rings for my Bergara as I have been having issues with the DNZ mount I have on it now, so I have some time to work up a new batch of loads to try out when my new base and rings show up. And while I'm at it, I'm going to upgrade the scope as well.lol
