In the world of ammunition, where reliability and performance are paramount, Barnes Original Bullets stand as a testament to innovation and tradition. Born in 1939, these bullets emerged from the pioneering vision of crafting projectiles with pressure-formed copper tubing enveloping a solid lead core. This design marked them as the first custom bullet available for American hand loaders—a significant milestone that seasoned hunters quickly embraced.
What sets Barnes Original apart is its remarkable consistency in delivering accuracy hunt after hunt. Upon impact, these bullets exhibit impressive expansion—often exceeding 200% of their original diameter—while retaining up to 90% of their initial weight. Such characteristics ensure not only penetration but also devastating stopping power.
These are live rounds ready for action—not components for reloading—which speaks volumes about their readiness and reliability straight out of the box. For those who demand precision and dependability from every shot fired in pursuit or defense, Barnes Original Bullets offer an enduring legacy backed by decades of proven performance.
