Barnes built the XPB as an all-copper handgun-hunting bullet, and this 200 gr .45 Colt load (part no. 30556) carries the same X-Bullet technology as the rest of the line. Barnes‘s lead-free, all-copper construction drives dramatically deeper penetration than a conventional jacketed lead-core bullet, while still expanding reliably and holding onto nearly all of its weight. It leaves no lead residue behind, a real upside for a bullet meant for hunting or defensive use. Loaded with a sabot, this same bullet is also usable in muzzleloading rifles. This is a component bullet for handloaders, not a loaded round.
