The Barnes Banded Solid Bore Rider Bullets (Barnes part no. 30707) give .50 BMG shooters an 800-grain projectile machined from homogenous copper/zinc alloy, built to stop dangerous game right now in life-threatening situations. Unlike a jacketed bullet, these indestructible Banded Solids will not disintegrate or deflect when they hit heavy bone, and multiple bands cut into the shank relieve pressure and virtually eliminate fouling as the bullet travels down the bore. A new nose design tracks straighter through dense muscle and bone than older solid designs, and because the bullet is weight-matched with Barnes TSX bullets of the same caliber, it can be interchanged with expanding bullets without shifting point of impact. Built by Barnes with a Secant O’Give profile, this 800-grain Bore Rider is designed for single-shot rifles with custom throats where overall cartridge length is not a limiting factor.
