Barnes Banded Solid Bullets in .470 Nitro Express, 500 grain, (part no. 30649) are built for dangerous-game hunters who need a projectile that drives straight through heavy bone without deflecting or breaking apart. Rather than reloading these separately, these are ready-to-fire, loaded bullets designed to stop even the biggest game, from buffalo, bison, and other heavy dangerous game. Barnes machines them from a homogenous zinc-copper alloy and cuts multiple bands into the shank to relieve pressure and reduce fouling as the bullet travels down the bore.
