Barnes Bullets 32472 25Cal 117gr LRX Boat Tail 50 Per Box/10 Case
$53.11
The Barnes Bullets 25 caliber 117-grain LRX boat tail is a premium hunting bullet engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game. Built around Barnes' proven LRX construction, this projectile delivers the terminal performance that long-range hunters demand: razor-sharp petals that cut tissue violently while the lead-free core maintains integrity through dense bone and muscle. If you're handloading for .257 Roberts, .257 Weatherby Magnum, or similar cartridges, the 117-grain weight hits the sweet spot for flat trajectory and energy retention beyond 300 yards.
What sets the LRX apart is its controlled expansion geometry and high weight retention. The boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient for wind deflection resistance, while the bullet's construction—sharp petals combined with a robust core—creates massive wound channels without fragmentation. You'll see deeper penetration than conventional hollow points, with expansion that reliably reaches near double the original diameter. For hunters pursuing elk, moose, or long-range deer where precision matters as much as terminal energy, this bullet fills the gap between soft-point versatility and purpose-built long-range performance.
This box contains 50 bullets; the 10-case quantity is ideal for serious reloaders stocking up for a season or building a reliable hunting load library. Barnes Bullets has built its reputation on delivering what they promise—no marketing hype, just bullets that shoot straight and perform when it counts.
