The Barnes Bullets 32185 delivers consistent terminal performance in 30-06 Springfield chambered rifles with its 165-grain jacketed hollow point boat tail design. This premium hunting ammunition combines controlled expansion with deep penetration for reliable results on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
The jacketed hollow point construction provides predictable expansion while maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and tissue. The boat tail profile reduces drag for flatter trajectory and improved long-range accuracy compared to flat-base bullets. Barnes manufacturing standards ensure consistent powder charges and bullet seating for shot-to-shot reliability.
