Barnes Originals Bullets .348 Win .348" 220 gr FNSP 50/ct

Barnes Originals bullets in .348 Winchester 220-grain FNSP are built on nearly a century of proven big-game performance. Since 1939, hunters have relied on these all-copper bullets for the kind of consistency and terminal effectiveness that separates ethical kills from frustration. The .348 Win is a classic lever-action cartridge for serious hunters pursuing elk, moose, and other large game where a heavy, reliable bullet makes the difference.

What sets Barnes Originals apart is their pressure-formed construction: 100 percent copper tubing surrounding a solid lead core. This method produces bullets that shoot straight and hit hard—no voids, no surprises. The all-copper design means virtually no barrel fouling compared to jacketed rounds, and the solid core means predictable performance across a range of velocities. When the bullet impacts, it expands reliably to roughly double its original diameter while retaining up to 90 percent of its weight, delivering deep penetration and excellent energy transfer on big animals.

This is a 50-count box of loaded ammunition ready to hunt, not components for handloading. If you're developing a .348 Win load or stocking up for the season, Barnes Originals offer the heritage and performance that made them legendary among serious hunters. Modern ammunition quality with old-school reliability.
