Barnes LRX 25 Caliber 101 Grain Lead-Free Spitzer Boat Tail Long-Range Hunting Bullets - Box of 50

Barnes LRX bullets in 25 caliber represent a purpose-built option for handloaders pursuing long-range hunting with modern, lead-free ammunition. The 101-grain LRX combines a spitzer profile with a boat-tail design to deliver the ballistic efficiency and downrange performance demanded by serious precision riflemen. If you're building custom loads for the .25-06, .257 Weatherby, or similar cartridges and want ammunition that performs without lead, these bullets earn consideration for their engineering and track record.

The LRX design centers on controlled expansion and deep penetration—two factors that matter equally on game at distance. The boat-tail geometry reduces drag and helps maintain velocity through the air, while the spitzer nose optimizes the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories. At 101 grains, this weight sits right in the sweet spot for 25-caliber hunting rounds, balancing recoil, velocity, and retained energy downrange. Lead-free construction makes them compliant in restricted areas and aligns with hunters committed to non-toxic ammunition practices.

Each box contains 50 bullets, sized for efficient production runs and storage. The 0.257-inch diameter fits standard 25-caliber dies and components. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for a 1,000-yard hunting expedition or building a reliable hunting load for elk or similar game at moderate range, these bullets reward careful handloading with the accuracy and terminal performance you've invested your time to achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges will these 25-caliber bullets work in?

The 101-grain LRX in 0.257-inch diameter is suitable for standard 25-caliber rifle cartridges, including .25-06 Remington, .257 Roberts, and .257 Weatherby Magnum. Verify your specific rifle's chamber and consult published reloading data before developing loads.

Are these bullets truly lead-free?

Yes. Barnes LRX bullets are manufactured without lead, making them legal in areas with lead ammunition restrictions and suitable for hunters prioritizing non-toxic ammunition.

How many bullets come in a box?

Each box contains 50 bullets. Cases are sold 10 boxes per case for a total of 500 bullets per case.

What's the ballistic coefficient, and why does it matter?

The ballistic coefficient is 0.400. A higher ballistic coefficient means the bullet resists air drag more effectively, maintaining velocity and energy at distance—a benefit for long-range hunting where wind drift and drop become significant factors.
