The Barnes Banded Solid Bore Rider is a 750 grain .50 BMG solid projectile machined from a homogenous copper/zinc alloy for structural integrity. It features multiple bands cut into the shank to reduce fouling and a Bore Rider Secant ogive profile intended for single-shot rifles with custom throats where overall cartridge length is not a limiting factor. The bullet is weight-matched to Barnes TSX bullets of the same caliber to support consistent point-of-impact when interchanging with expanding projectiles.
