Harvester PT Scorpion Gold. Precision Dead Centers work good also at that range.

best way to tell is get a bullet and shoot it at 200yrs and see what your gun likes and load. Barnes 290gr TEZ or 250gr TEZ would be a very good bullet. sabot would very on bore size. what gun do you have.

+1 on the Precision Dead Centers. I run 300gr DC in my .50.I am thinking about going lighter. I hunt elk deer and black bear.

Maybe so, but wouldn't want to shoot many at the range at that price!

How has the killing power been on the 250 TEZ's?

The 290gr looks to have more energy at longer range.

Shot a doe at 260 and dropped her instantly, I think the slug is still going.

Mine are the expanders though not the tipped ones.

Barnes 290 TMZ (best hunting bullet) or
Parker 275 Ballistic Extreme
Ive taken bucks (way) over 250 with both.
Parker is pretty explosive @shorter ranges, but slightly more accurate than the Barnes (300 yds)
I use BH209...

Been using the 250 T-EZ's with BH-209 for a couple years with no problems.Two late season doe kills between 150 and 200,neither took more than 10 steps both pass throughs.I like em..

As I have posted a few times over the years,the 200 grain .50 shock wave with 90 to 110 grains of BH-209 shoots 8 inches flatter at 200 yards than any 250 grain bullet. Kills them dead too.
