The Barnes 32108 centerfire rifle bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for 243 Winchester applications. These 100-grain jacketed hollow point boat tail projectiles feature Barnes' proven copper construction for maximum weight retention and devastating terminal performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, Barnes all-copper construction retains 99% of its original weight upon impact. The hollow point cavity initiates rapid expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps, while the boat tail design maintains ballistic coefficient for extended range accuracy. Independent testing shows these bullets typically achieve 1.5-2x their original diameter when expanded.
Key Features
- 100% copper construction eliminates lead contamination and ensures consistent performance
- Jacketed hollow point design provides controlled expansion from 1,800-4,000 fps
- Boat tail configuration reduces drag and improves long-range ballistics
- 100-grain weight optimized for 243 Winchester case capacity and twist rates
- Precision-manufactured to +/- 0.3 grain weight tolerance
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations nationwide
- 20 bullets per box with consistent lot-to-lot performance
Field testing demonstrates exceptional accuracy in standard 243 Winchester rifles with 1:10 twist rates. The boat tail design maintains supersonic velocity past 400 yards when loaded to appropriate specifications. These bullets excel in medium game hunting applications where deep penetration and reliable expansion are critical. The copper construction eliminates the risk of lead fouling that can affect accuracy over extended shooting sessions.
