Barnes Banded Solid Bullets in .425 EXP (.422″) are supplied in a 50-count box and are intended for reloading use where a heavy-for-caliber, solid projectile is desired. These bullets are produced from a homogenous zinc/copper alloy and use multiple bands cut into the shank to address fouling and pressure concerns. The round-nose banded solid profile provides consistent construction and retained mass for deep-penetrating performance in large-game applications.
Consistent dimensions, durable alloy construction, and the banded shank make these bullets a practical choice for reloaders who require uniform, solid projectiles for heavy-recoil cartridges. The 400-grain Banded Solid design delivers repeatable seating and feeding characteristics for handloading setups focused on large-game field work and reliability under demanding conditions.
