Description
The Barnes LRX is the long-range answer to the company's legendary all-copper monolithic design. These .375 caliber 270-grain bullets carry a polymer tip over a solid copper body with a boat tail base, giving you the kind of aerodynamic efficiency that keeps a heavy projectile flying flat and true well past where most dangerous-game bullets run out of steam. With a ballistic coefficient of .449 (G1) and a sectional density of .274, this is a bullet that bridges the gap between big-bore knockdown power and genuine reach.
What Sets the Barnes LRX .375 Apart
The LRX line was developed to keep pace with modern rifle accuracy and extended-range optics. The polymer tip does double duty here: it boosts the ballistic coefficient for better downrange performance and initiates rapid expansion on impact. The scored nose cavity peels back into four razor-sharp copper petals that double the original diameter, creating a wide wound channel and dumping energy deep into the animal. Because it's a solid copper construction, you don't deal with core separation, and weight retention stays high shot after shot.
Loading the 270-Grain LRX for the .375 Family
At 1.512 inches long with a .375 diameter, this bullet is a natural fit for the whole .375 lineup, from the .375 H&H Magnum to the .375 Ruger and various .375 wildcats and proprietary rounds. Barnes builds in their Accu-Groove relief grooves, which cut down on copper fouling and barrel pressure, letting you tune loads for tight groups without constant cleaning. Handloaders chasing a flatter-shooting, harder-hitting option for plains game or the big thick-skinned stuff will find a lot to like here.
Keep in mind these are component bullets, not loaded ammunition, so you'll be seating them yourself. Barnes publishes solid load data for the 270-grain LRX across the common .375 cartridges, which makes workup a straightforward process for anyone comfortable at the bench. If you want one bullet that handles range time and the hunt itself, this is a serious contender.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Barnes LRX .375 bullets loaded ammunition or components?
These are component bullets only, meant for handloading. You'll seat them into your own brass with powder and primers of your choice. They are not loaded cartridges ready to fire.
What cartridges can I load the 270-grain LRX .375 in?
Any cartridge using a .375 diameter bullet works, including the .375 H&H Magnum, .375 Ruger, and a range of other .375 chamberings. Barnes publishes load data covering the common options. Always start low and work up using published data for your specific cartridge.
Are these Barnes LRX bullets lead free?
Yes. The LRX is built from solid copper with no lead core, which makes it a lead-free option. The monolithic construction also means no core separation and high weight retention after impact.
What makes the LRX different from the standard Barnes TSX or TTSX?
The LRX is the long-range version of Barnes' X-bullet family, designed with a longer profile, boat tail, and polymer tip to raise the ballistic coefficient. That translates to flatter trajectories and better energy retention at extended distances while keeping the same deep-penetrating, four-petal expansion Barnes is known for.
