Barnes Bullets XPB Pistol ammunition in 454 Casull delivers serious stopping power for hunters and shooters who demand lead-free performance. Built on Barnes' proven all-copper bullet technology, the XPB line combines deep penetration with controlled expansion—exactly what you need when hunting big game or carrying a magnum revolver for defense. At 250 grains, this load pushes the envelope for the 454 Casull cartridge, giving you the velocity and energy to reach distant vital zones or guarantee reliable performance at close range.
All-copper construction means these aren't your standard jacketed lead-core bullets. The XPB design expands reliably across a wide velocity window and sheds minimal weight on impact, so you get consistent, predictable terminal performance shot after shot. Because there's no lead, you can practice and hunt without the residue concerns of conventional ammunition—a real advantage if you shoot indoors or in enclosed ranges. Barnes built their reputation on bullets that work, and the XPB line proves it.
This box contains 20 rounds of factory-loaded 454 Casull XPB ammunition, ready to load into your revolver. Whether you're pursuing hog, bear, or elk, or you're looking for a premium self-defense round for a 454 Magnum revolver, these cartridges give you the terminal performance that separates prepared shooters from the rest. If you're serious about what your 454 Casull delivers downrange, XPB ammo is the standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these Barnes XPB bullets work in my reloading setup?
Yes—these are loaded factory ammunition ready to fire, not reloading components. If you're looking to handload 454 Casull, you'd order the 250-grain .451 XPB bullets separately as components.
What firearms can I use these in?
These are loaded 454 Casull cartridges designed for revolvers chambered in 454 Casull. Always verify your specific firearm's chamber and manufacturer recommendations before shooting any ammunition.
Is this ammunition lead-free, and why does that matter?
Yes. Barnes XPB bullets are all-copper and contain no lead, which means no lead residue when you shoot. This matters for indoor or covered range use where lead exposure is a concern, and it's the responsible choice for practice and hunting in environmentally sensitive areas.
What's the intended use—hunting, target shooting, or defense?
The 250-grain XPB load is built for serious hunting (elk, hog, bear) and for magnum revolver shooters who value premium terminal performance. The lead-free design also makes it suitable for defensive carry if you choose a 454 Casull revolver for that role.
