Sir with all due respect the OP did not ask for a opinion on the load of 150 gr or Magnumitus. I do agree with you about the Barnes bullets, I have never had a failure and only two bullets recovered. The rest were pass though with good expansion.150 grains of powder in a .45 is well beyond overkill.
You can get the job done with half the amount of powder.
Magnumitis.....Not A Myth.
That said, you can't go wrong with Barnes bullets. I've used many different flavors and they all shine.
When companies list 150 grains for a charge it should be called out. A lot of novice shooters will see 150 grains and believe that to be gospel because that's what's on the package. Kinda like TV and radio and commercials and advertisements. They would never lie to increase sales...Sir with all due respect the OP did not ask for a opinion on the load of 150 gr or Magnumitus.

I think that they made them in a 175 gr as well.Thanks for the replies. I had never heard of these until I saw these listed for sale. Curious if anyone has tried these. (I’d prob shoot them in an SML considerably faster than the listed 150 gr sub charge).
No commentNever said the OP was a novice.
But lots of novices read these threads.
They did, Knight sold them. Decay was at my house with a pk of them but we didn't get to shoot any.I think that they made them in a 175 gr as well.
Hey moderators, can we?When companies list 150 grains for a charge it should be called out.

150 grains for a .45 caliber bullet is either extreme ignorance on the part of the manufacturer or an intentional attempt at selling more powder because shooters will run out of powder much more quickly.
The day may come when every thread in every forum is prefaced with "Only replies that agree with the OP are allowed".
Be well.

Even less with smokeless in my Scout.150 grains of powder in a .45 is well beyond overkill.
