Barnes XPB .429 225-Grain Pistol Bullets

Barnes XPB Pistol Bullets: Performance Without Compromise

Barnes has engineered these .429 diameter, 225-grain XPB bullets to deliver the kind of terminal performance serious shooters demand. Built on decades of ballistic research, these all-copper projectiles represent a fundamental departure from conventional jacketed lead-core ammunition.

Superior Design and Construction

All-Copper Construction: The XPB design eliminates lead entirely, making these bullets ideal for shooters concerned with environmental impact and range cleanliness. You'll notice the absence of lead residue that can accumulate in practice environments.

Patented X-Bullet Technology: Barnes' proven X-Bullet design features a hollow cavity that initiates controlled expansion while the solid copper construction ensures exceptional weight retention. This combination delivers energy transfer that exceeds conventional bullets.

Performance Characteristics

• Penetration: The all-copper design provides dramatically increased penetration compared to traditional jacketed bullets
• Expansion: Controlled, predictable expansion across a wide velocity range
• Accuracy: These bullets are exceptionally accurate, making them suitable for both hunting and precision shooting
• Versatility: Can be used in .44 Magnum revolvers or, with a sabot, in muzzleloading rifles

Ideal Applications

Whether you're hunting medium to large game or preparing for self-defense, these 225-grain bullets deliver the terminal performance you need. The combination of penetration, expansion, and weight retention makes them a premium choice for serious shooters.
