Barnes XPB Pistol Bullets .500 S&W .500" 275 gr XPBFB deliver all-copper, lead-free ballistic performance engineered for terminal expansion and maximum penetration in handgun ammunition. These solid-copper expanding rounds represent a significant advancement over conventional jacketed lead-core bullets, offering superior weight retention and energy transfer critical for self-defense and hunting applications where shot placement and consistency determine outcomes.
The 275-grain bullet weight in .500 S&W delivers substantial kinetic energy transfer inherent to the magnum revolver platform. Barnes' proprietary X-Bullet technology creates controlled expansion while maintaining structural integrity through intermediate barriers, translating to reliable performance across variable-distance shooting scenarios. The all-copper construction produces no lead residue, eliminating airborne particulate concerns during training cycles at indoor ranges—a practical advantage for shooters engaged in frequent practice. Lead-free ammunition also meets environmental and regulatory requirements in jurisdictions restricting lead ammunition use.
This ammunition suits operators, hunting professionals, and defensive handgun specialists who deploy .500 S&W revolvers for field work or home protection. The 20-round count per box supports practical training drills and carry loading. Precision reloaders also source Barnes XPB projectiles for custom ammunition development, leveraging the bullet's inherent accuracy and predictable ballistic behavior. Serious shooters prioritizing shot reliability and terminal performance in a magnum handgun cartridge find XPB ammunition a credible, performance-proven choice.
