For handloaders working up .338-caliber rifle cartridges loads, the Barnes LRX .338 Caliber 250gr Boat Tail Bullet (brand part no. 31150) from Barnes is a 250-grain LRX Boat Tail component bullet worth a look. Barnes designed the LRX (Long-Range X) to match the advancements in modern rifle accuracy and extended-range optics, building on the TTSX platform with a longer, more aerodynamic boat-tail profile.

Key Specifications

• Weighs a nominal 250 grains.
• Bullet style is LRX Boat Tail.
