| Since its introduction in 1989, the Barnes X-Bullet has been praised by gun writers and professional hunters as the most deadly and reliable hunting bullet available. Designed by Barnes' owner Randy Brooks, the X-Bullet is a solid copper projectile, heat treated for extra toughness. There's no separate jacket and no lead core. The bullet holds together for deep, dependable penetration---every time! A deep forward cavity causes the nose to peel back in four separate, razor-edged petals. Viewed head on, the appearance of these four petals gives the X-Bullet its name. The X-Bullet out-penetrates other hunting bullets, and has developed a reputation for delivering quick, one-shot kills on a wide variety of game. BarnesBullets.com |

In 2003, Barnes introduced the Triple-Shock X-Bullet™. Identifiable by rings cut into its copper body, it offers all the qualities that have made the X-Bullet™ a favorite of knowledgeable hunters everywhere. Like the X-Bullet™, the Triple-Shock X™ features all-copper construction, no fragmentation, maximum weight retention and 28 percent deeper penetration than the best lead-core bullets offered. On impact, the bullet face opens to create four razor-sharp cutting edges.
The new Triple-Shock X™ ringed bullet provides significantly greater velocities, lower pressures and less fouling, without requiring an external coating. The bullet delivers a triple impact-one when it first strikes game, another as the bullet begins opening, and a third devastating impact when the specially engineered cavity fully expands to deliver extra shock with maximum transferred energy.
Barnes' revolutionary Triple-Shock X™ design provides all the benefits of the time-proven XLC-coated X-Bullet™. In addition to greater velocities, reduced pressures and less copper fouling, the Triple-Shock X™ delivers a three-punch impact that's deadly on game. BarnesBullets.com |
