Barnes Banded Solid Bullets for Dangerous Game
These .425 EXP solid bullets represent the pinnacle of dangerous game ammunition design. At 400 grains and .422" diameter, they deliver the penetration and reliability demanded by hunters pursuing the world's largest and most challenging game.
Construction and Performance
Barnes engineered these solids from a homogenous zinc/copper alloy—a material selection that reflects decades of field experience. Unlike conventional jacketed bullets, this solid construction will not deflect or disintegrate when encountering heavy bone structure. The multiple bands cut into the shank serve a dual purpose: they eliminate fouling that can build up in the bore and relieve pressure for consistent, reliable performance.
Purpose-Built for Serious Hunters
These bullets are the choice of professional hunters and serious sportsmen facing potentially life-threatening encounters with:
- Bear
- Moose
- Wild boar
- Buffalo
- Bison
- Other large, dangerous game
When the stakes are highest and failure is not an option, Barnes Banded Solids deliver the penetration, reliability, and stopping power that get the job done. They arrive ready to load—no further preparation required.
