The Barnes 32002 delivers consistent terminal performance with its precision-engineered 55-grain jacketed hollow point design. This boat tail configuration enhances ballistic coefficient for improved accuracy at extended ranges. Manufactured to exacting standards, these bullets provide reliable expansion and weight retention across various hunting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional lead-core bullets, the Barnes 32002 features a controlled expansion design that maintains structural integrity upon impact. The boat tail profile reduces drag coefficient by approximately 8-12% compared to flat-base alternatives. This translates to flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift at distances beyond 200 yards. The jacketed hollow point construction ensures consistent mushrooming while preserving 95%+ weight retention.Key Features
