Barnes LRX Long-Range X 6.5mm .264" 127gr LRXBT 50 Count

The Barnes LRX is an all-copper, polymer-tipped 6.5mm (.264") component bullet built for handloaders who hunt at long range. Barnes engineered its expanding copper petals for penetration on game. Each box holds 50 component bullets. That terminal performance starts at the nose. The polymer tip raises the ballistic coefficient and starts rapid expansion on impact, and a boat tail with a precision heel radius finishes the profile at the base. Together they give this 127 grain bullet a G1 BC of 0.468 and a sectional density of 0.260. In game, the solid copper body opens into four razor-sharp petals. Barnes credits the design with deeper penetration and expands to near double the diameter. The all-copper build also delivers higher weight retention. Accu-Groove keeps copper fouling to a minimum, a practical benefit for anyone who spends long sessions at the bench developing a load. Barnes developed the LRX to keep pace with modern rifle accuracy and extended-range optics. The result is a 6.5mm hunting bullet designed for a range of hunting distances. Barnes lists a recommended twist rate of 1:8" or faster; use published load data for your specific 6.5mm cartridge.
