BAR .50 Caliber 325 Grain XPB Ammunition - 20 Rounds (5 Boxes)

Barnes XPB ammunition in .50 caliber gives you lead-free, all-copper bullets designed for serious penetration and reliable expansion. This 20-round pack (5 boxes of 4 rounds each) features 325-grain projectiles built on Barnes' proven X-Bullet platform—a choice trusted by hunters and shooters who need consistent terminal performance without the lead exposure of conventional ammunition. XPB bullets are machined from solid copper and engineered to retain weight through barriers and bone, making them equally at home in the field or at the range.

The all-copper construction means clean shooting in indoor ranges and practice facilities where lead residue is a concern. These bullets expand reliably across a wide velocity window, transferring energy effectively while maintaining the structural integrity needed for deep, straight-line penetration. If you're reloading .50 caliber rounds for hunting, long-range work, or specialized shooting applications, XPB bullets deliver the accuracy and ballistic consistency that makes handloading worthwhile.

Barnes has spent decades perfecting monolithic copper bullet design, and it shows in how XPB rounds perform downrange. Whether you're loading for precision rifle work or hunting heavy game, the combination of weight retention, expansion control, and penetration makes these bullets a premium choice—and the lead-free design means you're not compromising performance for safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these Barnes XPB bullets lead-free?

Yes. XPB ammunition is manufactured from solid copper with no lead core, making it safe for use in indoor ranges and practice environments where lead exposure is a concern.

What is the bullet weight, and why does it matter?

These are 325-grain XPB projectiles. In .50 caliber applications, bullet weight directly affects ballistics, penetration depth, and energy transfer. The 325-grain weight is designed for reliable expansion and weight retention in hunting and long-range shooting scenarios.

Can I reload these into ammunition myself?

These are loaded cartridges—20 complete rounds in 5 boxes of 4. If you're looking for XPB bullets for handloading, you would need Barnes XPB reloading components sold separately.

What makes XPB bullets more effective than jacketed lead-core rounds?

The all-copper monolithic design provides superior weight retention, deeper penetration, and more reliable expansion compared to conventional jacketed bullets with lead cores. Barnes' X-Bullet technology ensures consistent performance across a wide velocity range, making XPB rounds ideal for hunting and precision shooting.
