The Barnes LRX 30318 delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with its all-copper construction and precision-engineered boat tail design. These 175-grain bullets expand reliably at extended distances while maintaining structural integrity for deep penetration on large game.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the LRX features solid copper construction that retains 99% of its weight upon impact. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps, making it effective at ranges where conventional bullets fail to open. Four razor-sharp cutting petals create devastating wound channels while the shank continues penetrating in a straight line.
Key Features
- All-copper construction retains 99% weight for maximum penetration
- Polymer tip ensures reliable expansion at 1,600+ fps impact velocity
- Boat tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectory and wind drift
- Four cutting petals create 2x original diameter wound channel
- Lead-free design meets all hunting regulations nationwide
- Precision-machined grooves reduce barrel fouling
- 50-count box provides consistent lot-to-lot performance
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The 175-grain weight provides excellent ballistic coefficient for long-range hunting applications, maintaining over 1,800 fps velocity at 400 yards when fired from standard .30-06 or .308 Winchester loads. The copper construction eliminates lead contamination concerns for meat processing.
