The Barnes Banded Solid Bore Rider is an 800-grain, .50 caliber spitzer boat tail bullet designed for custom .50 BMG loading applications. These bullets are machined from a homogenous copper/zinc alloy and use multiple bands cut into the shank to reduce fouling. The Bore Rider profile and weight matching with TSX bullets support consistent alignment in custom throats and maintain point-of-impact consistency when interchanged with similarly weighted expanding bullets.
