Barnes 250-grain Expander Spit-Fire T-EZ

By Gary Lewis

Not all .50-caliber muzzleloaders are built to the same specifications. The designers at Barnes recognized a need for a bullet that is easier to load in tight bores and delivered the new Expander Spit-Fire T-EZ, a 250-grain 45-caliber bullet in a 50-caliber sabot.

This polymer-tipped projectile is all copper, retains almost 100 percent of its weight and is a good choice in tight (or fouled) bores. Spit-Fire T-EZs are packaged in a blister pack of 15 or 24 sabots/bullets.

Suggested retail: $18.54 to $28.39. Call 800-574-9200, or visit www.barnesbullets.com.
