The Barnes LRX 30 Cal 208gr boat tail bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy and terminal performance for precision shooting applications. These all-copper bullets feature Barnes' proven LRX (Long Range X) design that maintains velocity downrange while providing devastating expansion on impact.
What Makes This Different
The LRX design incorporates a polymer tip that initiates expansion at lower velocities compared to traditional lead-core bullets. The all-copper construction eliminates lead fouling and provides consistent weight retention of 95-100% after impact. The boat tail profile reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base designs, extending effective range and improving wind drift resistance.
Key Features
- All-copper construction eliminates lead fouling and provides consistent performance
- Polymer tip ensures reliable expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps
- Boat tail design reduces drag for improved ballistic coefficient
- 208-grain weight optimized for long-range precision in 30 caliber rifles
- Four razor-sharp cutting petals create maximum wound channels
- Grooved bullet shank reduces barrel pressure and copper fouling
- Compatible with standard 30 caliber rifles including .308 Winchester, .30-06, .300 Win Mag
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifle systems with proper load development. The LRX bullets maintain structural integrity through various intermediate barriers while delivering predictable expansion in both thin-skinned game and ballistic gelatin. Temperature stability ranges from -40°F to 140°F without performance degradation, making them suitable for diverse hunting conditions and competitive shooting environments.
