Barnes LRX Lead-Free Long-Range Hunting Bullets - 243 Cal, 6mm, 95 Grain, Boat Tail, Box of 50

The Barnes LRX lead-free long-range hunting bullets in 243 caliber (6mm, 95 grain) are engineered for shooters serious about precision at extended distances. Built around an all-copper construction, these boat-tail bullets deliver the ballistic performance and terminal consistency that modern long-range hunting demands—whether you're shooting 200 yards across a canyon or pushing the limits of your rifle's capability. Lead-free ammunition is increasingly required in many hunting regions, and Barnes LRX rounds eliminate that constraint without sacrificing accuracy or lethality.

What sets the LRX apart is its focus on match-grade accuracy combined with rapid, controlled expansion. The polymer tip boosts the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and retained velocity at distance, while the boat-tail design refines aerodynamics for a cleaner flight. On impact, the scored nose cavity expands into four razor-sharp petals that create a wide wound channel and transfer energy efficiently through the target. High weight retention means the bullet holds together through bone and vitals, delivering the deep penetration required for ethical, quick kills on game at both close range and extreme distances.

Reloaders also benefit from Barnes' Accu-Groove technology, which reduces fouling in the bore and contributes to tighter group consistency. The precision heel radius on the boat-tail ensures concentricity and reliability through the loading process, so you get the same terminal performance from the first round downrange to the last in your magazine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these bullets legal for hunting in lead-free ammunition zones?

Yes. The Barnes LRX is constructed entirely of copper with no lead, making it compliant with lead-free ammunition regulations in California and other regions that restrict traditional rifle ammunition.

What game are these bullets suitable for?

The 243 caliber, 95-grain LRX is appropriate for medium-sized game, including deer and similar-sized animals. Terminal performance is optimized for ranges from close proximity out to extended distances where modern optics and barrel twist rates allow accurate placement.

Will these bullets work with standard reloading dies and equipment?

Yes. The LRX boat-tail design and precision heel radius are compatible with standard reloading equipment. The Accu-Groove design helps reduce fouling and supports consistent reloading practices.

What's included in a box of 50?

Each box contains 50 loose Barnes LRX bullets ready to load. You will need to supply your own brass, primers, and powder to complete ammunition assembly.
