Barnes Triple-Shock X-Bullets in .35 caliber, 225 grain (Barnes part no. 30457), are made from 100 percent copper and sold across a range of calibers and diameters, each built to expand on impact and produce four razor-sharp petals with deep cutting capability. For hunters who want a one-shot kill, the bullet’s design lets it penetrate dense bone and tissue while retaining 100 percent of its original weight. Barnes notes that the best accuracy typically comes from seating the bullet between 0.03 and 0.07 inches off the lands, depending on the specific rifle, and these live bullets are sold in a box of 50 for reloaders working up a hunting load.
