I have used the 325 gr. Barnes Expander in my .54 cal. Hawkens Carbine. My carbine has a 1 in 24" twist and these saboted bullets act like they were made especially for this gun.
The first time I used it I dropped a large doe in her tracks. The wound cavity was unbelieveable. The bullet acts like a buzz saw and is very effective. I would recommend it to anyone.
