The Barnes LRX in .308 diameter, 208 grain is the heavy-hitter of Barnes' Long-Range X lineup, and it's a bullet that earns its name. Barnes built the LRX to keep pace with how far modern rifles and glass can reach, giving handloaders a solid copper projectile with a long, sleek profile and a boat tail that carries energy way downrange. With a G1 ballistic coefficient of .633 and a G7 of .316, this 208 grain pill bucks wind and holds velocity better than most bullets in its class.
What makes the LRX tick is the combination of an all-copper body and a polymer tip up front. The tip boosts the BC and kicks off expansion the instant it touches hide. From there the nose opens into four razor-sharp petals that cut a wide wound channel and dump energy through the length of the cavity. Because there's no lead to shed, weight retention stays high, so it keeps driving deep and punches through bone and vitals on everything from whitetails to elk, whether the shot is up close or way out past where most folks are comfortable.
This is a long bullet, and it needs spin to stabilize. Barnes calls for a 1:8.5" twist or faster to get the most out of it, so check your barrel before you buy a box. The sectional density runs .313, which is part of why this thing penetrates the way it does. It's a natural fit for the .300 Win Mag, .300 PRC, and other fast .30 cal magnums where you've got the case capacity to really let it stretch its legs.
Barnes leaned on Doppler radar during development to fine-tune the ogive and boat tail for low drag and tight groups at distance. The Accu-Groove bearing surface helps cut fouling and keep pressures manageable, which makes load workup a little friendlier. If you're the type who likes clean, lead-free terminal performance and match-grade accuracy out of your own handloads, this is one of the better options going in .30 caliber.
Barnes recommends a 1:8.5" twist or faster for this 208 grain LRX. It's a long, heavy copper bullet, so a slower twist likely won't stabilize it well. Check your barrel's twist rate before loading these up.
Yes. The LRX is built on an all-copper body with a polymer tip, so there's no lead core at all. That construction is part of what gives it such high weight retention and deep penetration on game.
These are reloading bullets only, meaning the projectiles themselves with no cases, powder, or primers. You'll need to handload them into your chosen .30 caliber cartridge. They're a great match for cartridges like the .300 Win Mag and .300 PRC.
This bullet is built for big game hunting at both close and extended range. With a .633 G1 BC and strong weight retention, it handles everything from deer to elk cleanly. The polymer tip drives expansion into four cutting petals for a wide wound channel and solid energy transfer.
