sjsfire, I wanted to bump this to the top. Have you had a chance to use the crushed sabots with the Barnes?

No, Sorry to say I haven't had the chance. Never could find the Barnes anywhere online. I did buy the Knight Red Hot 250gr which is the same bullet as the Barnes MZ Expanders. And got 150 Crushed Rib Sabots. Been too damn hot and humidhere. The only place I have to shoot is the sportsman club down by my wife's family 1.5 hours away. I'll get down there soon, we visit about every other weekend. I'll take photos of my target.....My son got me a nice Canon digtal camera and a 2 gig memory card for fathers day, should hold a lot of pictures. I'll give a report on them as soon as I can.

Just courious if it worked out. By the way, if you can't find the Barnes anywhere else,go to their website and you can order from their retail site. Not necessarily the cheapest, but available. Good luck!
