Barnes
Barnes Ammunition is an American company that has been producing ammunition since 1932. Founded by Fred T. Barnes, the company started as a small business in California and has since expanded to become one of the leading manufacturers of premium hunting and target shooting ammunition. Barnes offers a wide range of products including centerfire rifle, handgun and shotgun ammunition, as well as reloading supplies for both factory and custom loads. The company's signature product lines include their famous X-Bullets, Varmint Grenade bullets, Triple Shocks X-Bullets, Vor-TX Rifle Ammunition and more.
Barnes Ammunition is renowned for its innovative technology which includes lead-free bullets made from solid copper or alloys of copper and zinc. Their patented designs offer superior accuracy and performance while using less material than standard lead bullet designs. Barnes' jackets are also made with a unique bonding process that produces extremely strong yet lightweight projectiles that are capable of deeper penetration into game animals. The X-Bullet design features a polymer tip that increases the ballistic coefficient to improve accuracy at longer ranges without sacrificing terminal performance on impact.
The company also manufactures pistol and revolver ammunition in many popular calibers including .380 ACP, 9mm Luger, .40 Smith & Wesson, .45 ACP and more. In addition to their handgun ammunition line, Barnes also offers specialty shotshells for hunting waterfowl, upland birds and other small game animals like rabbits and squirrels. They also carry custom rifle brass cartridges for hunters who prefer to handload their own rounds for maximum accuracy.
In recent years Barnes has expanded its offering with products designed specifically for law enforcement such as tactical rifle loads with barrier defeating capabilities along with frangible pistol rounds designed to reduce risk of ricochet when used in close quarters scenarios such as indoors shooting ranges or urban environments. With nearly 90 years of experience in designing high quality ammunition products for shooters worldwide, it's no wonder why Barnes is trusted by many competitive shooters around the world looking for reliable hunting or target shooting rounds.
