HANDGUN BULLET
LEGENDARY ONE - SHOT STOPPING POWER .
XPB™: Featuring Barnes’ patented X Bullet technology, all-copper
XPB bullets offer dramatically increased performance over conventional
jacketed lead-core bullets. These lead-free bullets provide superior
expansion and weight retention. Energy transfer is unsurpassed for
quick, clean kills making them ideal for hunting.
BUSTER™: Heavy-for-caliber handgun and lever rifle bullets intended
for hunting bear, wild boar, moose, bison, buffalo and other large—even
dangerous—game. The bullet features a thick copper jacket and a heavy lead
core, resulting in bone-crushing power with pass-through penetration.
Unlike conventional expanding bullets, the Barnes Busters track straight
without deflection. These tough bullets are specifically designed to deliver
maximum penetration, even on large and dangerous game. Bullets remain
intact—jackets won’t separate from the core. It is ideal for those who carry
handguns for protection against bears in Alaska and other wilderness areas.
