Could you go into more detail as to why these wouldn't work? I have some that I use with sabots in my muzzleloader and thought about trying them in my RAR.
What’s the twist on your muzzle loader and what velocities are you obtaining?
There’s probably a huge difference.

Then I went back a reread. Sorry about that guys. I love Barnes bullets. I'm planning to work up some loads with the 200gr XPB and the 275gr TSX/XPB. Like I said I use the 250gr Barnes XPB in my muzzleloader and 3" 12ga Federal with a 1oz Barnes Expander in a slug gun. They are just plain devastating on deer. Has the 250gr Barnes been tried in the 450BM?

Good choice with Lil Gun. It'll serve you well across a lot of bullet weights, any of which will reliably put venison in the freezer. If you'll be hunting shelter belts in cropland, with the possibility of shots in excess of the distance I see in the northern MN woods, consider the Hornady 200gr FTX. Faster, flatter shooting with the same frontal area as the heavier ones. This caliber bleeds off speed like a shuttle cock, compared to smaller bottleneck calibers once it gets out there. Check your PM's in a few minutes neighbor.
