Barnes Pioneer 45 Colt 200gr XPB Bullets - 20 Count Box

The Barnes Pioneer 45 Colt 200gr XPB delivers devastating terminal performance with 100% copper construction that retains nearly all its weight upon impact. These premium hunting bullets expand reliably at velocities as low as 1,200 fps while maintaining structural integrity through thick hide and bone.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the XPB (eXpanding Pistol Bullet) maintains 99% weight retention through controlled expansion. The solid copper construction eliminates lead fouling in barrels while producing consistent accuracy shot after shot. Four razor-sharp petals deploy uniformly to create massive wound channels that drop game quickly and humanely.

Key Features

• 100% copper construction eliminates lead contamination and barrel fouling
• 200 grain weight optimized for 45 Colt ballistics and penetration
• Hollow point design expands reliably from 1,200-2,200 fps
• 99% weight retention prevents bullet fragmentation
• Four-petal expansion creates maximum wound diameter
• California compliant for lead-free hunting requirements
• Boat tail base improves long-range accuracy and ballistic coefficient

Field testing demonstrates consistent expansion across various media densities, making these bullets equally effective on whitetail deer, wild hogs, and black bear. The copper construction maintains trajectory stability in crosswinds while the boat tail design extends effective range beyond standard flat-base bullets. Hunters report clean pass-throughs on broadside shots with devastating internal damage.
