Any one know what Barnes bullet that was that he showed? I tried finding it on Barnes website but didn't have any luck.

Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2017 4:53 pmI did go back and listen to the video again and then looked up the bullet on Barnes website. I did a search here on the forum and found an old thread discussing the Barnes bullet. Most of the comments on the forum were negative r/t to bullet length and excessive copper build up in the barrel due to increase velocity of the 450.
This was with the Barnes Spit Fire T-EZ muzzle loader bullet which is made to use a sabot.
So, for the time being I will continue to use Hornady FTX 225 and 250 grain bullets for my reloading.

I run those TEZ's in the 460 MGM Encore with no fouling problems, never tried them in the 450 AR but I can see where they would eat up case capacity.

There's a similar discussion ongoing on the FB group. From what I've read, it's still a few weeks out.
