Barnes LRX .30 Cal 175gr Reloading Bullets – Box of 50
Barnes LRX .30 caliber (.308″ diameter) 175 grain bullets are all-copper, lead-free reloading projectiles from Barnes’ Long-Range X range. Supplied as bullet heads only, this box contains 50 bullets for handloading purposes. These bullets are not pre-loaded ammunition.
The boat-tail design and a ballistic coefficient of 0.508 provide a flat trajectory and strong resistance to wind drift at extended ranges. With a sectional density of 0.264, they deliver reliable penetration into dense, thick-skinned game.
On impact, the polymer tip initiates instant, controlled expansion, opening into four razor-sharp copper petals that roughly double the bullet’s original diameter and create a wide wound channel. The solid copper shank maintains structural integrity, ensuring high weight retention and consistent terminal performance.

FAQ
Are these bullets suitable for long-range shooting?
Yes, the boat-tail design and ballistic coefficient of 0.508 make these bullets well-suited for long-range applications with minimal wind drift and a flat trajectory.
Do these bullets expand upon impact?
Yes, the polymer tip initiates controlled expansion, opening into four copper petals that increase the bullet’s diameter and create a wide wound channel upon impact.
Are these bullets compatible with all .30 caliber rifles?
These bullets are designed for .308 caliber rifles and are intended for handloading. Compatibility depends on the specific rifle and chamber pressure specifications.
Liam Greene –
Used these bullets for a recent hunting trip in the woods. The expansion was consistent and the bullet held together well despite the thick hide of the game. Good performance at range and reliable penetration.
Wanda Bond –
Highly satisfied with the quality and consistency of these bullets. The flat trajectory and controlled expansion made a big difference in accuracy at longer distances. Easy to load and reliable.
Sue Rees –
The bullets perform well in handloading. The expansion is predictable and the copper shank stays intact. A bit more expensive than other options, but worth it for long-range use.
