The Barnes Original Bullets stand as a testament to innovative ammunition design, first introduced in 1939. Crafted with precision and foresight, these bullets were the pioneers of using pressure-formed copper tubing enveloping a solid lead core. Such construction delivers remarkable reliability and became a favored choice among American hand loaders seeking custom performance.
Seasoned hunters quickly recognized the value embedded within each Barnes bullet—accuracy and consistent performance over countless hunts. Upon impact, these bullets exhibit an impressive expansion, often exceeding 200 percent of their original diameter while maintaining up to 90 percent of their initial weight. This ensures maximum energy transfer to the target without sacrificing structural integrity.
This particular offering is live ammunition, ready for immediate use rather than reloading components. For those who demand excellence in every shot fired, Barnes Original Bullets provide unparalleled dependability and results that have stood the test of time.
