BARNES BULLETS, INC.

In 1932 Fred Barnes began selling bullets made in his basement workshop in Bayfield, Colorado. Handloading was in its infancy and Fred, dissatisfied with the hunting bullets then available, decided to make his own. After experimenting with different possibilities, he settled on a bullet with a soft lead core encased in 99 percent pure copper tubing. The copper tubing was much thicker and tougher than the gilding metal coat conventional jacketed bullets wore. The result was greater penetration and more controlled expansion when the bullet struck game. After making these bullets for himself and a handful of friends, he realized the commercial potential of his highly effective bullets and started manufacturing and selling them from his home.

No matter what game you hunt, you want a bullet that will expand instantly on contact, penetrate deeply, retain its weight and make clean, one-shot kills. Featuring lead-free copper construction, Barnes’ Triple Shock X, Tipped Triple Shock, XPB pistol bullets, and our all-copper muzzleloader bullets deliver this deadly, reliable performance better than any lead-core bullet.

Barnes’ Varmint Grenade is a highly frangible, hollow-cavity bullet with a copper-tin composite core. Remains intact at ultra-high velocities, yet fragments explosively. Produces spectacular kills on ground squirrels and prairie dogs, while greatly reducing the chance of ricochets.

Barnes’ lead-free M/LE tactical bullets are intended for military, law enforcement and personal defense applications. Four designs are available for pistols and tactical rifles.
