Description

The Barnes LRX 338 Lapua Magnum 280-grain bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy and terminal performance for precision shooting applications. These all-copper boat tail projectiles maintain velocity and energy at extended distances while providing consistent expansion upon impact.

What Makes This Different

The LRX (Long Range X) design features Barnes' proven all-copper construction with a polymer tip for enhanced ballistic coefficient and controlled expansion. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, these solid copper projectiles retain 100% of their weight after impact, creating deeper penetration channels. The boat tail design reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base bullets, extending effective range significantly.

Key Features

All-copper construction with polymer tip for optimal ballistic performance
280-grain weight optimized for 338 Lapua Magnum cartridge
Boat tail design with streamlined profile for reduced drag
Four razor-sharp cutting petals ensure reliable expansion
Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
Precision-manufactured to +/- 0.0005" tolerances
50 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions

Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain supersonic velocity beyond 1,500 yards in 338 Lapua Magnum loads. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps, making them effective across varied engagement distances. Copper fouling remains minimal due to Barnes' proprietary surface treatment, extending barrel life compared to conventional jacketed bullets.
