Overview
Built for hunters looking to extend their reach, this 6.5mm 127-grain projectile is part of Barnes’ LRX line and is designed around a 100% copper construction with no lead. Its polymer tip is intended to initiate expansion on contact, while the boat tail and larger ogive are described as supporting improved ballistic performance at longer distances.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a component bullet, so it requires careful load development and compatibility with your rifle and intended hunting setup.
- The 100% copper construction and polymer tip are part of the design, but the product description does not provide details on specific terminal performance for every game or distance.
- The box count is 50, which is practical for load work and field use, but it is a smaller quantity than bulk practice ammunition.
- The longer ogive and boat tail are intended to support ballistic performance, but actual results will depend on the full cartridge, rifle, and shooting conditions.
