The Barnes LRX Long-Range Hunting Bullets in 6.5mm, 127 grain are purpose-built for hunters pushing shots to distance. These lead-free rifle bullets combine the accuracy and velocity that serious long-range hunting demands with the terminal performance needed for a clean, ethical kill on big game. Whether you're reloading for a 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, or another precision cartridge, the LRX delivers the consistency and reliability that make hand-loading worthwhile.

Built entirely from copper, the LRX uses a grooved shank design that reduces barrel copper fouling while managing pressure—benefits that add up to cleaner shooting and longer barrel life on your reloading bench and downrange. The polymer tip initiates reliable expansion, and upon impact the bullet's construction produces four-petal expansion that creates significant wound trauma. For long-range applications where pass-through penetration matters, the LRX maintains its weight and structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle, ensuring deeper energy transfer even at extended ranges.

The boat-tail profile enhances ballistic coefficient, helping your rounds stay supersonic and retain energy at distance. At 127 grains, this weight strikes a balance suitable for 6.5mm applications where you need velocity without sacrificing impact power. Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you a full complement for a solid reloading session or a well-developed hunting load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles and cartridges use 6.5mm, 127-grain bullets?

The 6.5mm, 127-grain weight works in a wide range of 6.5mm cartridges, including 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 260 Remington, and similar long-range hunting rounds. Check your rifle's manual or reloading manual for your specific cartridge to confirm compatibility and load data.

Are Barnes LRX bullets truly lead-free?

Yes, the LRX is constructed from 100% copper with no lead content, making it compliant with lead-free ammunition regulations in certain states and regions.

What is the boat-tail design, and why does it matter for long-range hunting?

The boat-tail refers to a tapered base that reduces drag at the rear of the bullet, improving ballistic coefficient. This helps the bullet retain velocity and energy over longer distances, crucial for consistent hits and reliable expansion at extended range.

Will the LRX penetrate deeply enough for large game?

The LRX is engineered to retain its weight and structure through heavy bone and muscle, supporting deep penetration while still producing four-petal expansion for effective wound trauma on big game.
