I have recently switched to the TEZ because they shoot well in my Knight being pushed by two 60gr 777 pellets.
I have been shooting the power belts and have had good killing success on deer.
Anyone else have good or bad to say about these projectiles?

They should preform great. Barnes makes a great bullet that preforms. Only downfall is that copper is less dense than lead so the bullets they produce suffer from a low BC.

Power belts have much more rocky reviews so if you are happy with there performance the Barnes should be better. Their BC is low as well so if I had to decided between the 2, iI would shot Barnes.

If you liked Powerbelts you'll LOVE Barnes!!! I've been shooting them out of my muzzleloader for about 25 yrs...

This is the 290 grain I recovered from a bull elk at 86 yards. One shot through the lungs and he only made it about 100 yards.
