Barnes Bullets 32471 22Cal 65gr LRX Boat Tail 50 Per Box/10 Case
The Barnes Bullets 22 caliber 65-grain LRX Boat Tail is a premium reloading bullet designed for precision riflemen and handloaders who demand reliable performance on game. Built with Barnes' proprietary LRX (Lead Resultant Xpanding) technology, this projectile delivers the controlled expansion and penetration characteristics serious hunters expect when hand-loading ammunition for small to medium game applications.
The LRX design features a streamlined boat tail profile that enhances ballistic efficiency and trajectory stability downrange. The boat tail geometry reduces drag and allows for tighter shot groups at distance—a significant advantage whether you're reloading for competition, varmint hunting, or long-range shooting. At 65 grains, this bullet strikes a balance between velocity potential and energy retention, making it a versatile choice for modern .22-caliber rifles.
Each box contains 50 bullets, and this listing is for a 10-box case—500 rounds total—allowing serious handloaders to stock up for extended shooting sessions or build ammunition reserves. Reloading your own .22 ammunition gives you control over every variable: powder charge, primer selection, and bullet seating depth. With quality bullets like the Barnes LRX, you're building loads tailored to your rifle's preferences and your shooting goals.
