The Barnes LRX, short for Long-Range X, is an all-copper hunting bullet built for reloaders chasing flat trajectories and deep penetration out of their .270. This 129-grain projectile uses a .277 diameter, a long aerodynamic nose, and a boat-tail base with a precision heel radius to carry energy downrange. The polymer tip boosts the ballistic coefficient and kicks off expansion the instant it hits game, so you get a high-BC bullet that still performs on impact.
Being solid copper with no lead core, the LRX holds nearly all of its weight after impact. On contact the tip drives the nose open into four sharp petals that cut a wide wound channel and push straight through, which is exactly what you want for clean, ethical shots on deer and elk whether they're close or stretched way out there. The .463 G1 ballistic coefficient and roughly .240 sectional density give it the kind of downrange behavior that makes holdovers predictable.
This bullet measures about 1.344 inches long, which is on the longer side, so pay attention to seating depth and case capacity when you build your loads. The LRX came from the TTSX family, and a lot of handloaders use proven 130-grain data as a starting point and work up from there. Barnes publishes load data specifically for the 129 LRX in .270 Winchester, and it's worth noting these copper bullets tend to reward some experimenting with jump to the lands to find their sweet spot. Grooves machined into the shank help manage fouling and bearing surface.
If you shoot a .270 Win or a .270 magnum and want one bullet that reaches out while still putting game down reliably, the LRX earns its spot on the loading bench. Each box holds 50 bullets.
It's built for big game hunting, with deer and elk being the common targets. The all-copper construction holds its weight and penetrates deep, so it works at both close range and stretched-out distances. Hunters who've used it on elk report dependable terminal performance.
Many handloaders start with proven 130-grain data and work up carefully, since the bullets are close in weight. Barnes also publishes load data specifically for the 129 LRX in .270 Winchester, which is the best place to begin. Always start low and work up while watching for pressure signs.
Solid copper bullets retain nearly all their weight on impact, which means deeper, more consistent penetration and a reliable wound channel. The LRX opens into four petals for energy transfer while still driving through. It's also a lead-free option, so there's no lead left in your meat.
Yes, at roughly 1.344 inches it runs longer than many traditional .270 bullets. That length eats into case capacity, so mind your seating depth and powder charge during load development. Copper bullets like this one often shoot best once you dial in the jump to the lands.
