Barnes Bullets 54 Cal Expander MZ Muzzleloader Hollow Point 325 gr - 24 Pack

The Barnes Bullets 54 Cal Expander MZ is a purpose-built muzzleloader bullet engineered for modern black powder hunters who demand reliable, devastating performance on game. Loaded with a 325-grain hollow point design and sabot, this round delivers the stopping power and accuracy serious hunters expect from a premium muzzleloading bullet. Whether you're hunting deer, elk, or other medium to large game with your inline or traditional muzzleloader, the Expander MZ is built to perform at the ranges and velocities that define modern muzzleloading.

The hollow point cavity is designed to expand to roughly twice its original diameter upon impact, creating razor-sharp copper petals that cut through tissue and bone without fragmenting. This controlled expansion generates the kind of wound channel that puts game down decisively—no penciling through, no jacket separation, just straightforward terminal performance. The engineering behind the Expander MZ is rooted in decades of ballistic testing, and it shows in the field.

Each 24-pack gives you enough rounds for a full season of hunting or serious practice and load development. The sabot system keeps the bullet centered in the bore for consistent accuracy, and the bullet's sectional density and ballistic coefficient work together to deliver consistent velocity and downrange energy whether you're shooting at 50 yards or stretching it out further. If you're running a quality muzzleloader and want ammunition that matches your rifle's reliability, the Expander MZ deserves a hard look.
