The Barnes LRX 30374 delivers exceptional long-range accuracy and terminal performance for serious hunters pursuing big game at extended distances. This 200-grain boat tail bullet combines Barnes' proven all-copper construction with aerodynamic design optimized for flat trajectories and devastating expansion.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the Barnes LRX features solid copper construction that retains 99% of its weight upon impact. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion while the boat tail design reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base bullets. Four precision-cut grooves reduce barrel fouling and maintain consistent velocities across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- All-copper construction retains 99% weight for maximum penetration
- Polymer tip ensures reliable expansion at velocities down to 1,600 fps
- Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient to .452
- Four relief grooves minimize copper fouling and pressure spikes
- 200-grain weight optimized for .30-06, .300 Win Mag, and similar cartridges
- Lead-free design complies with California hunting regulations
- Precision manufacturing maintains ±0.3 grain weight consistency
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The LRX maintains supersonic velocity beyond 800 yards in most .30 caliber magnums, making it effective for elk, moose, and other large game at extended ranges. Double-diameter expansion creates massive wound channels while the retained shank ensures complete pass-through on broadside shots.
