Reloading Guidance

Barnes recommends initially seating these bullets 0.050" off the lands. Fine-tune accuracy by adjusting seating depth between 0.030" and 0.070" from the lands, depending on your rifle's chamber characteristics. This flexibility allows handloaders to achieve optimal performance in their specific firearms.

Performance

The combination of the polymer tip and expanding petals delivers the stopping power serious hunters expect. Whether you're pursuing elk, deer, or other large game, these bullets provide the terminal performance needed for ethical, effective hunting.
