New for 2006, Barnes’ super-premium, Maximum-Range X-Bullet™ is designed for hunters who demand 100-percent reliable performance and one-shot kills at extended distances. The boattail MRX™ bullet combines the best features and deadly killing power of Barnes’ copper Triple-Shock™ X-Bullet with a new Delrin™ tip and a tungsten core.

The denser-than-lead tungsten core moves the MRX bullet’s center of gravity rearward, producing optimum ballistic performance, maximum penetration and the same exceptional accuracy Triple-Shock Bullets are famous for. A heavy tungsten core surrounded by a controlled-expanding all-copper body means game-dropping performance no lead-core bullet can match. Unlike soft lead cores that fragment or squeeze out under pressure, the tough MRX tungsten core retains its shape on impact, maintaining bullet integrity.

Adding a streamlined Delrin tip gives this premium bullet a higher ballistic coefficient (BC), allowing the MRX bullet to deliver flatter trajectory and greater retained energy at long range. Unlike some plastic-tipped bullets, the Delrin-tipped MRX won’t fragment on impact or blow up on game. The MRX bullet provides controlled expansion at both short and long range. The nose of the bullet peels back into four razor-sharp copper petals that resist shearing off. The new bullet typically retains 100 percent of its original weight and delivers the deep-penetrating, bone-smashing power needed for raking shots at large game.

Like the all-copper Barnes-X and Triple-Shock X-Bullets, the new Maximum-Range X-Bullet contains no lead to contaminate venison. The MRX is the X-Bullet to choose when you need to make difficult shots at extreme distances. It’s a super-premium bullet that delivers dependable long-range kills.

In 2003, Barnes introduced the Triple-Shock X-Bullet™. Identifiable by rings cut into its copper body, it offers all the qualities that have made the X-Bullet™ a favorite of knowledgeable hunters everywhere. Like the X-Bullet™, the Triple-Shock X™ features all-copper construction, no fragmentation, maximum weight retention and 28 percent deeper penetration than the best lead-core bullets offered. On impact, the bullet face opens to create four razor-sharp cutting edges.

The new Triple-Shock X™ ringed bullet provides significantly greater velocities, lower pressures and less fouling, without requiring an external coating. The bullet delivers a triple impact-one when it first strikes game, another as the bullet begins opening, and a third devastating impact when the specially engineered cavity fully expands to deliver extra shock with maximum transferred energy.

Barnes' revolutionary Triple-Shock X™ design provides all the benefits of the time-proven XLC-coated X-Bullet™. In addition to greater velocities, reduced pressures and less copper fouling, the Triple-Shock X™ delivers a three-punch impact that's deadly on game.

The Triple-Shock X-Bullet™ offerings for 2006 are:

Designed for stopping large, dangerous game, Barnes' round-nose Solids can be depended on to deliver straight, bone-shattering penetration every time. Unlike other so-called "solid" bullets that are actually full metal-jacketed bullets with lead cores, Barnes' Solids are made of tough copper/zinc alloy throughout. There's no separate jacket to shed, and no lead core that can break up or deform. When it strikes heavy bone, the Barnes Solid doesn't disintegrate or deflect; it simply plows on through. Barnes' Solids range from 45-grain .22-caliber (.224 inch) bullets to massive 900-grain bullets for the .600 Nitro Express. Spitzer-shaped solids-which are deadly for hunting varmints and fur-bearing animals, yet create minimal damage to valuable pelts-are offered in .22 (.224 inch) through .338 (.338-inch) calibers.
