Barnes XPB Pistol Bullets .45 cal .451" 225 gr XBP PST 20/ct
$27.49
Barnes XPB pistol bullets in .45 caliber offer handloaders a serious alternative to traditional lead-core ammunition. Built on Barnes' all-copper construction, these 225-grain .451" projectiles eliminate lead entirely—a benefit whether you're logging rounds downrange at an indoor range, hunting with a handgun, or loading for personal defense. The copper-based design delivers consistent performance without the lead residue that can linger in shooting environments, making them practical for high-volume reloading sessions.
What sets the XPB apart is its expansion and weight retention. All-copper bullets behave differently than jacketed lead-core designs, and shooters who've made the switch to solid copper often find they prefer the penetration characteristics and the knowledge that every grain of bullet weight stays in the fight. For .45 shooters who demand reliability and clean-burning ammunition, this is a legitimate choice.
Each box contains 20 bullets, sized to .451" for standard .45 ACP and compatible platforms. If you reload for pistol and want to move away from lead without sacrificing performance, these deserve a closer look.
