Barnes XPB pistol bullets in 454 Casull, 250 grains (Barnes part no. 30562), bring Barnes’ patented X-Bullet technology to one of the hardest-hitting production revolver cartridges available, giving dramatically increased penetration over conventional jacketed lead-core bullets. The all-copper, lead-free build provides superior expansion and near-total weight retention, translating into unsurpassed energy transfer on hunts or in a defensive load. With no lead core, these bullets leave no residue behind at the range, and like other XPB pistol bullets, they can be paired with a sabot for use in muzzleloading rifles as well.
