Overview

Built for hunters loading a .416 caliber rifle, this 300-grain, lead-free copper bullet is intended for demanding big-game applications where deep penetration is a priority. Its Triple-Shock design uses carefully placed rings in the bullet body to help relieve firing pressure and reduce copper fouling, supporting higher-velocity loading within the bullet’s intended use. Barnes presents it as a premium hunting option for situations involving dense tissue and heavy bone. Packaged 50 per box, it offers a specialized choice for hunters who want a non-lead projectile in a heavy-caliber setup.

Pros

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Lead-free, all-copper construction may not suit hunters who prefer traditional lead-core bullets or a different terminal behavior profile.
  • The Triple-Shock design is built around higher-velocity loading and reduced copper fouling, so it is best matched to rifles and loads set up for that use.
  • At 300 grains, this is a heavyweight .416 caliber bullet, which may not be the right choice for hunters looking for a lighter option.
  • Packaged 50 per box, so it is a premium component purchase rather than a high-volume practice round option.
