Barnes Pioneer 44 Magnum 225gr XPB Bullets - 20 Round Box

The Barnes Pioneer 44 Magnum 225-grain XPB bullets deliver devastating terminal performance through proven all-copper construction. These premium hunting bullets expand reliably while retaining 99% of their original weight for deep penetration on large game.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the XPB (X Pistol Bullet) maintains structural integrity through controlled expansion. The hollow-point design opens into four razor-sharp petals that create massive wound channels while the solid copper body drives deep into vital organs. This combination produces quick, ethical kills on deer, elk, and other big game where shot placement and penetration matter most.

Key Features

• 225-grain all-copper construction for maximum weight retention
• Hollow-point design with controlled four-petal expansion
• Lead-free composition meets all hunting regulations
• Optimized for 44 Magnum revolvers and carbines
• Consistent accuracy through precision manufacturing tolerances
• Deep penetration capability for large game hunting
• Clean burning powder residue for easier maintenance

Field testing demonstrates exceptional performance across various hunting scenarios. The 225-grain weight provides excellent momentum transfer while the copper construction ensures consistent expansion at velocities from 1,000 to 1,400 fps. These bullets perform reliably in both close-range woods hunting and longer shots from lever-action carbines, maintaining accuracy while delivering the knockdown power 44 Magnum shooters demand.
