The Barnes Buster is a .44-caliber, 300-grain flat-nose bullet (Barnes part no. 30545) built for handguns and lever-action rifles chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, .454 Casull, .45-70 Government, and .500 Smith & Wesson. Barnes builds it as a fully cast bullet with a thick copper jacket over a heavy lead core, engineered to penetrate deep enough for the biggest, most dangerous game hunted with a handgun or lever gun, including wild boar, bear, buffalo, bison, and moose. Handloaders who need a hard-hitting revolver or lever-gun bullet that won’t come apart on tough animals turn to the Buster line for exactly that reason. Each box holds 50 bullets.
