Barnes Match Burner 30 Cal 155gr OTM BT Palma Bullets - Box of 100

The Barnes Match Burner 30 Cal 155gr OTM BT Palma Bullets deliver precision-built ammunition components for competitive shooters and dedicated handloaders who demand consistency downrange. These open-tip match (OTM) bullets are engineered to meet the exacting tolerances required in Palma competition and precision rifle work, where every tenth of a second and every inch of bullet grouping matters. With a boat-tail design that enhances ballistic coefficient, Match Burners provide a flatter trajectory and more predictable wind deflection—critical advantages whether you're fine-tuning loads for the range or preparing for match day.

Barnes has built a reputation for aggressive accuracy performance, and the Match Burner line carries that standard into a price range that makes competitive precision accessible to more shooters. If you're running a proven competition load or developing a new load specifically for your rifle, these 155-grain bullets offer the geometry and build quality that separates sub-minute-of-angle groups from mere "good shooting." Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you a full complement for load development and practice without repeated supply-chain friction.

Palma shooters and target competitors will appreciate bullets designed around caliber and weight ratios optimized for stability and accuracy. Whether your barrel prefers a different twist rate or you're experimenting with seating depth and powder charge, Match Burners respond consistently to refinement—the hallmark of match-grade ammunition components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an open-tip match bullet, and why do Palma shooters prefer it?

An open-tip match (OTM) bullet has a hollow cavity at the nose rather than a closed tip. This design promotes uniform expansion behavior in ballistic gelatin and offers tighter manufacturing tolerances—essential for the extreme consistency demanded in Palma competition and long-range precision work.

Will these bullets work in my .30 caliber rifle?

These are .30 caliber (7.62mm) bullets, so they are compatible with standard .30-caliber rifle cartridges. Always verify bullet diameter and weight against your specific rifle, load data, and cartridge before seating and firing.

How many rounds can I load from one box?

Each box contains 100 bullets. The number of loaded rounds you produce depends on your brass supply and reloading setup.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting?

Match Burner bullets are designed and marketed for competitive target shooting and Palma competition. Consult current hunting regulations and manufacturer guidance for your intended use.
