The Barnes Bullets Expander MZ .45 caliber 195-grain expanding muzzleloader bullets bring proven copper-bullet performance to modern muzzleloader hunting. Designed specifically for in-line and traditional muzzleloaders, these saboted projectiles deliver the accuracy and terminal performance serious hunters demand when pursuing deer, elk, and other medium to large game. Whether you're hunting the rut or glassing ridges in late season, the Expander MZ is built to perform at the velocities typical muzzleloaders deliver.
Each Expander MZ is engineered to expand reliably across a wide velocity range—critical for muzzleloader hunting, where shot placement and consistent bullet performance determine success. The design creates sharp copper petals upon impact, delivering deep penetration and lethal wound channels without fragmentation. That means more reliable one-shot stops and less tracking through thick brush.
This 15-pack contains everything you need for a hunting season or extended range session. The sabots keep the .45-caliber bullets centered in your bore for tighter groups and flatter trajectories. Barnes' reputation for quality and consistency means you can load with confidence, knowing your ammo will perform when it matters most.
