BAR 50CAL 275GR XPB Ammunition - 20 Rounds (10 Boxes)

Barnes Bullets' XPB ammunition in .50 caliber offers hunters and precision shooters a premium handloading component built on proven all-copper bullet technology. The 275-grain XPB projectile delivers the kind of terminal performance and reliability that serious reloaders depend on, whether you're developing loads for hunting big game or testing precision at the range. This offering gives you 20 rounds across 10 boxes—a convenient format for stocking your reloading bench or evaluating performance before committing to larger quantities.

The XPB design centers on Barnes' proprietary all-copper construction, which eliminates the lead-core weakness found in conventional jacketed bullets. Lead-free performance matters in dedicated shooting ranges and hunting environments where lead exposure is a health concern; it also means you can shoot extended practice sessions without the residue buildup that plagues traditional ammunition. The monolithic copper build supports exceptional weight retention through bone and heavy hide—critical when you need a bullet that stays together and transfers energy reliably downrange.

Reloaders choose the XPB for its consistent ballistic performance and the accuracy potential it unlocks in a well-tuned handload. The 275-grain mass in .50 caliber makes this a serious propellant-heavy load, ideal for hunters pursuing maximum velocity and energy transfer or shooters pushing the outer limits of their rifle's capability. Because you're handling component bullets rather than factory ammunition, you maintain full control over powder charge, primer selection, and overall load assembly—giving you the precision that factory rounds can't match.

Stock these Barnes XPB bullets for your next reloading session, and experience the terminal performance that all-copper construction delivers. Whether you handload for hunting or long-range practice, the 275-grain XPB is engineered to perform when accuracy and stopping power matter most.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between XPB bullets and standard jacketed lead-core ammunition?

XPB bullets are all-copper monolithic designs that eliminate the lead core entirely. This construction supports superior weight retention on impact, deeper penetration through heavy bone and hide, and cleaner handling in indoor ranges and shooting environments without lead exposure concerns.

Can I use these Barnes XPB bullets for hunting?

Yes. The 275-grain XPB is designed specifically for hunting applications, where reliable expansion and energy transfer are critical. The all-copper construction ensures consistent performance and deep penetration on medium to large game at hunting distances.

Are these finished cartridges or reloading components?

These are component bullets for handloading. You'll need to pair them with brass cases, primers, and powder of your choosing to assemble complete ammunition. This gives you full control over load development and allows you to tailor velocity and trajectory to your specific rifle.

How many rounds do I get in this package?

This package contains 20 bullets total, packaged as 10 boxes with 2 rounds per box. The multi-box format is convenient for stocking your reloading bench or organizing by lot.
