Product Info for Barnes Banded Solid Rifle Bullet, .505 Gibbs, 525 Grain, Solid Round Nose
Whether you're hunting a dangerous game in Africa or a stubborn old pigeon in Georgia, BarnesBanded Solids are designed to stop sending game running. The Barnes .505 Gibbs 525 grain Banded Solids Bullet is virtually indestructible and will chew its way through the toughest, most dangerous game. Multiple bands, or rings, cut into the bullet's shank eliminate pressure, virtually eliminate fouling and give these projectiles a Signature Series appearance. These bullets feature flawless feeding in bolt-action rifles. You can even interchange one Branded Solids bullet for another TSX bullet with no shift in point of impact. For interchanging different calibers of the same type, make sure the barrel is choked down to the proper terminal velocity. When interchanging different calibers, make sure the nose cone is also tapered at the back end. This ensures the projectile doesn't snag or slide off the nose under recoil or when loaded. For big game, use a heavier Barnes Banded Solids bullet to get reliable terminal performance.
