The Barnes Bullets XPB Pistol 460 S&W Mag .451 200gr rounds represent a purpose-built option for hunters and defensive shooters working with large-bore magnum revolvers. Built entirely from copper using Barnes' proven X-Bullet technology, these lead-free projectiles deliver the penetration and expansion characteristics that make them stand out in the big-bore hunting and self-defense space. Each box contains 20 rounds ready to load or shoot.
What sets the XPB apart is its monolithic all-copper construction. Unlike conventional jacketed lead-core bullets, the XPB maintains structural integrity through barriers and soft tissue, yielding superior weight retention and energy transfer downrange. This matters when you're hunting hard-to-stop game or counting on reliable performance in a defensive situation. The design also leaves no lead residue—a practical benefit if you shoot frequently in indoor ranges or share a firing line where lead exposure is a concern for the whole range.
Handloaders will find these bullets responsive to consistent reloading practices, and field users appreciate their track record for accuracy and terminal performance. The 200-grain weight in .451 diameter is purpose-fit for the 460 S&W Magnum platform, delivering the ballistic characteristics that cartridge was designed to support.
