The Barnes LRX (Long-Range X) in 6.5mm (.264) 127 grain is built for the hunter who stretches the distance and still wants reliable terminal performance when the shot connects. This is a solid copper bullet, so there's no lead core and no jacket to separate. That one-piece construction is what lets it retain nearly all of its original weight, driving deep through heavy muscle and bone instead of coming apart on the near side.
What makes the LRX a step up from the TTSX it was built on is the stretched-out profile. Barnes lengthened the ogive and the boat tail to push the G1 ballistic coefficient up to .468, which keeps this 127 grain bullet flatter downrange and less chatty in the wind. The polymer tip does double duty: it cleans up the aerodynamics for a better BC and it kicks off expansion on impact, where the nose cavity peels open into four razor-sharp petals that cut a wide wound channel and dump energy the whole way through.
These bullets run long for their weight because of that copper construction, so a 1:8" twist or faster is what you'll want to stabilize them properly. Most modern 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and 26 Nosler barrels are already cut to this spec, which is part of why the 127 LRX has become such a popular handload for those cartridges. If your rifle has a slower twist, it's worth checking before you commit.
Barnes uses their Accu-Groove ring technology on the shank to reduce bearing surface and copper fouling, which tends to make these easier on pressure and easier to clean up after a range session. Keep in mind copper bullets usually like to be seated a bit off the lands, so plan to play with your seating depth to find the accuracy node your barrel prefers. Once you dial it in, this is a bullet that shoots tight groups and does its job on deer, elk, and everything in between.
This box contains 50 component bullets for reloading. These are projectiles only, not loaded ammunition.
Barnes recommends a 1:8" twist or faster for this bullet. Because it's solid copper, the 127gr LRX runs longer than a comparable lead-core bullet, and length is what dictates stabilization. Most current 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and 26 Nosler barrels already meet or beat that spec.
These are component bullets for handloading, not finished cartridges. The box contains 50 projectiles only, with no brass, powder, or primers. You'll be seating them into your own prepped cases.
The solid copper construction holds together on impact and retains nearly all its weight, which translates to deep, consistent penetration through muscle and bone. On impact the nose opens into four sharp petals for a wide wound channel. It's also a lead-free option, which many hunters prefer or are required to use in certain areas.
This bullet carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.468 and a sectional density of 0.260. Barnes stretched the ogive and boat tail compared to the TTSX to boost that BC, which keeps it flatter and more wind-resistant at extended range.
