The Barnes LRX 270 Winchester 129gr Boat Tail bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy with proven all-copper construction. These lead-free hunting bullets expand reliably at extended distances while maintaining weight retention for deep penetration on big game.
What Makes This Different
The LRX (Long Range X) design features a polymer tip that initiates expansion at lower velocities than traditional copper bullets. Barnes engineers the hollow cavity and four razor-sharp petals to create devastating wound channels while retaining 95-100% of the bullet's original weight. The boat tail configuration reduces drag for flatter trajectories compared to flat-base designs.
Key Features
- All-copper construction eliminates lead contamination in game meat
- Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient and initiates controlled expansion
- Four cutting petals create 2x original diameter wound channels
- Boat tail design improves long-range ballistic performance
- 129-grain weight optimized for 270 Winchester cartridge capacity
- Grooved shank reduces barrel fouling and pressure
- California compliant for lead-free hunting regulations
Field testing shows consistent expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps, making these bullets effective at ranges exceeding 400 yards in 270 Winchester. The streamlined profile maintains energy better than conventional lead-core bullets, while the copper construction penetrates through heavy bone and muscle. Hunters report clean, ethical kills on elk, deer, and antelope with minimal meat damage.
