The lineup includes a 300 BLK 205gr Sierra GameKing designed to expand reliably, providing hunters with a true subsonic option for consistent, dependable terminal results.

Reloading Components
Long-Range X Bullet® (LRX™)
Specifically engineered to expand at extended distances and low velocities while producing massive wound channels. LRX bullets offer high ballistic efficiency, deeper penetration, near double diameter expansion and higher weight retention than virtually any other projectile on the market today.
Offerings:
- 22 cal 65gr (optimized for 22 Creedmoor, 1:8+) – SKU 32471
- 25 cal 117gr (optimized for 25 Creedmoor, 1:7.5+) – SKU 32472
- 7mm 152gr (1:9+, G1 BC .467) – SKU 32395
TAC-TX™ Bullets
The TAC-TX bullet is a special purpose expanding all-copper bullet that is optimized around AR platforms. AR’s feature shorter carbine length barrels which reduce the muzzle velocity when compared to a standard barrel length. To achieve the same terminal performance that Barnes fans are used to, we added a larger tip to allow more fluid to enter the nose and modified the bullet cavity to maximize expansion at lower velocities. These bullets track straighter through barriers and have better weight retention than lead-core bullets.
Offerings:
- 22 cal 70gr (optimized for 22 ARC, 1:7+) – SKU 32469
- 6mm 90gr (optimized for 6 ARC, 1:7.5+) – SKU 32470
TSX® Bullets
TSX all-copper bullets have unmatched accuracy, reduced barrel fouling and increased velocity – making them the deadliest, most dependable hunting bullet you can buy.
Offering:
- 40 cal 190gr (optimized for 400 Legend) – SKU 32473
