The Barnes LRX 30 caliber hunting bullet is a lead-free precision projectile engineered for serious long-range and medium-range game hunting. At 208 grains with a spitzer boat-tail profile, the LRX combines controlled expansion with the penetration and weight retention you need when hunting thick-bodied game at distance. Since it's lead-free, it delivers full performance in jurisdictions and hunting areas where non-toxic projectiles are required or preferred—without compromise.
Barnes' LRX design uses a proprietary copper construction that produces sharp, uniform petals on impact. This geometry creates reliable expansion while maintaining a high ballistic coefficient, so your round stays on target and retains velocity downrange. The boat-tail profile further boosts aerodynamic efficiency, which translates to flatter trajectory and less wind drift in real-world hunting conditions.
Reloaders value the LRX for its consistency and dimensional precision. Each box of 50 bullets is produced to tight tolerances, making them predictable on the loading bench and in the field. Whether you're handloading for a .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, or another 30-caliber magnum, these bullets deliver the performance you'd expect from a purpose-built hunting round at a serious distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifle calibers can I use these bullets in?
These are .308-diameter (30-caliber) bullets, so they're compatible with any 30-caliber rifle—including .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Win Mag, .300 Weatherby, and similar magnum and standard cartridges. Always verify your rifle's chamber and consult published load data for your specific caliber before reloading.
Are these lead-free bullets legal for hunting?
Yes. The LRX is constructed entirely from copper and other non-lead materials, making it compliant in areas where non-toxic ammunition is mandated or preferred. Check your local and state regulations to confirm the requirements in your hunting jurisdiction.
What's the ballistic coefficient, and does it matter for my hunting?
The LRX has a ballistic coefficient of 0.65, which is strong for a 208-grain 30-caliber bullet. A higher BC means less wind drift and velocity loss downrange—valuable traits when hunting at distance or in less-than-ideal conditions. For medium to long-range hunting, this is a meaningful advantage.
How many bullets come in a box?
Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you a solid starting point for load development or season preparation.
