I ordered 4 packs also, thinking the same thing.I just ordered some. The 195’s work very well as you already know. I don’t think 20g less will make a difference on deer, and the price was right.
Good to know. Thank you.These 175gr aren't limited to just 45cal MLs.
Harvester Sabot Co has the blue 50/40cal sabots for 50-cal MLs. This is a nice soft load for beginners, women.... even male adults that are recoil sensitive, or have shoulder issues.
Works best in-combination with two pellet powder loads, or any loose powder (not named Blackhorn 209) deploying 80-90-100 grains.
I've used several different 50/40 bullet offerings at shooting ranges to 150 yards. The Harvester Crush Rib 50/40s are what I recommend for first purchase.
Happy New Year.Happy to help.
This bullet design originated with Buffalo Bullet Co in 50-cal only around 25 years ago - in lead only. Then Cecil at prbullet came out with one almost identical - then Barnes tried it out in copper-clad.
I might still have some leaded ones, even after selling several boxes to a ML forums member around 15 years ago.
That's when my shoulder went kaput - my wrist syndrome started and I began shooting lightweight bullets and lighter weight powder loads.
No more magnum loads of 777, Blackhorn..... nuttin'.
Give me two pellets of White Hots please and 200gr bullet... then I'm happy......lol
Happy New Year
I looked but didn’t see a test done. The 195’s seemed small too but they opened up great.I also have two packets of the RedHots in 175 grain that I'll be testing in the next month in my Paramount/Woodman/ Brux 45. It's a pretty small hollowpoint opening compared to many other hollowpoints. I haven't checked yet to see if Ron Mclaughlin did a test with them.
I've always had better luck with 45/50. I never could get the 40/50 combo to work for me.These 175gr aren't limited to just 45cal MLs.

I have killed plenty of deer with that bullet. It was an exclusive thing with Knight rifles from what I could find. Rather than send our customers to buy them from Knight, we started making them but added a knurl. I try not exceeding 100 yards as you need velocity to get expansion. When you hit a deer with them at 2600 or more fps, it works great.Has anyone shot the 175gr Barnes 40cal in a 45cal muzzleloader? How did they perform on paper or on game? Thanks in advance.
