When you're handloading for the largest and most dangerous game, you want a projectile that won't quit on you at the worst possible moment. The Barnes Banded Solid in .416 caliber, 400 grain is that kind of bullet. It's a non-expanding, round nose solid machined from a homogeneous copper/zinc alloy, which means there's no lead core to come apart and no jacket to separate. From nose to base, it's one tough piece of metal built to penetrate deep and stay on course.
The standout feature is the series of bands, or rings, cut into the shank. Those grooves relieve chamber pressure and cut down on copper fouling, so your barrel stays cleaner shot to shot and you're not fighting pressure spikes in a heavy magnum. The round nose profile is designed to track straight through dense muscle and bone rather than tipping or deflecting, which is exactly what you want when a buffalo or elephant is involved. It carries a ballistic coefficient of 0.261 and a sectional density of 0.330, with an overall length right around 1.542 inches.
One of the smartest things about this bullet is that it's weight-matched with the Barnes Triple-Shock X-Bullet in the same caliber and weight. That means you can run your expanding TSX loads and these solids out of the same rifle without a meaningful shift in point of impact. For a safari setup, that's a big deal. You can carry expanding bullets for soft-skinned game and switch to Banded Solids for the heavy stuff, all zeroed to the same sights.
This is a dangerous game component through and through. Handloaders chambered in .416 Rigby, .416 Remington Magnum, and similar cartridges rely on it when deep, straight-line penetration and maximum weight retention are non-negotiable. If you're building loads for the biggest bears, buffalo, or anything that can hunt you back, this bullet earns its place on the bench.
These are reloading components, not loaded ammunition. You're getting 50 unprimed, unloaded bullets ready to be seated into your own cases with your preferred powder charge and primer. They're meant for handloaders building .416 caliber loads.
This 0.416 inch diameter, 400 grain bullet is a natural fit for popular dangerous game rounds like the .416 Rigby and .416 Remington Magnum, among other .416 caliber cartridges. Always work up your load using current published data for your specific cartridge and rifle.
They're weight-matched with the Triple-Shock X-Bullet in the same caliber and weight, so they're designed to be interchanged with your expanding TSX loads without varying your point of impact. That lets you pair expanding bullets for soft-skinned game with solids for heavy game using one zero. As always, confirm it at the range with your own rifle before heading afield.
No, these are non-expanding solids. The homogeneous copper/zinc alloy construction is built to hold together and drive deep in a straight line rather than mushroom, which is exactly what you want for penetrating heavy bone and muscle on the largest game. You get maximum weight retention with no fragmentation.
