Barnes Originals Bullets .348 Win .348" 250 gr FNSP 50/ct
Barnes Originals .348 Winchester 250 grain bullets are a proven choice for hunters using classic lever-action rifles and other .348 Win–chambered firearms. These all-copper hollow-point soft-point projectiles trace their lineage back to 1939, when Barnes first pioneered pressure-formed bullets that combined 100 percent copper construction with a solid lead core. For nearly a century, they've earned a reputation among serious handloaders and hunters who demand reliability and consistent expansion on game.
The .348 Win cartridge delivers serious power at medium range, and these 250 grain bullets are engineered to handle that energy responsibly. Upon impact, they expand reliably to roughly double their original diameter while retaining approximately 90 percent of their initial weight. That combination of controlled expansion and weight retention translates to deep penetration and energy transfer—the kind of performance that has kept generations of hunters returning to Barnes Originals.
This is a 50-count box of loaded ammunition, ready to fire from your rifle. Whether you're hunting from a saddle, working timber in rough country, or shooting from a blind, these classic projectiles offer the downrange performance that older, larger-caliber rifles were designed to deliver. Barnes Originals remain a smart option for anyone who respects the cartridge and values proven, no-frills bullet construction.
