When you're loading for a big-bore like the .577 Nitro Express, the projectile has to hold together no matter what it hits. The Barnes Banded Solid answers that call with a 750-grain, .583" flat point machined from homogeneous copper-zinc alloy. There's no lead core to shed and no jacket to peel. What goes in the muzzle is what comes out the other side, which is exactly what you want when the animal across from you can hit back.
The flat nose on this bullet is the heart of its performance. It tracks straight through dense muscle and heavy bone instead of tumbling or veering off line, delivering the deep, straight-line penetration that stops the largest game in its tracks. With near-zero expansion and no fragmentation, you get maximum weight retention and a wound channel that goes where it's pointed.
The multiple bands cut into the shank aren't just for looks. They relieve pressure as the bullet travels down the bore, which matters a great deal in fine double rifles, and they drastically cut down on copper fouling so cleanup stays manageable. Deep crimping grooves lock the bullet in place under the brutal recoil these cartridges generate, while still feeding reliably in bolt actions.
One detail serious hunters appreciate is that these Banded Solids are weight-matched to Barnes Triple-Shock X-Bullets of the same caliber. That means you can run a soft for your first shot and a solid for the follow-up without chasing a new zero, since point of impact stays consistent between the two. For reloaders building dangerous-game ammo, that kind of predictability is worth its weight in brass. Each box holds 20 bullets, specs out at a .257 ballistic coefficient and .315 sectional density, and measures 1.41" long.
These are component bullets intended for handloading, not finished ammunition. You'll need to seat them in your own .577 Nitro Express brass with the correct powder charge and primer. If you're not set up to reload big-bore cartridges, these aren't a drop-in option.
The bullet is machined from a single piece of copper-zinc alloy, so it won't disintegrate or deflect when it slams into heavy bone. The flat nose drives straight through dense muscle and bone for deep, reliable penetration with near-zero expansion and maximum weight retention. That combination is exactly what you want on the biggest, toughest game.
Yes, and that's one of the nicest features. These Banded Solids are weight-matched to Triple-Shock X-Bullets of the same caliber, so you can run an expanding bullet and a solid without your point of impact shifting between them. It makes building a soft-then-solid dangerous-game load much simpler.
The multiple bands around the shank relieve pressure as the bullet passes through the bore, which is especially helpful in fine double rifles. They also cut down on copper fouling so your barrel stays cleaner over a shooting session. Deep crimping grooves keep the bullet locked in place under the heavy recoil these cartridges produce.
