Popular Ammo Offerings from Barnes
- .223 Remington:The .223 Remington, often referred to as the .223 Rem, is one of the most common rifle calibers in the United States. As an intermediate rifle cartridge, .223 Rem loadings will produce a light recoil impulse and feature a light projectile. The rounds will typically yield a high velocity and feature a flat trajectory. While the cartridge and its NATO cousin have seen duty use, the .223 Rem has also established itself as a capable round as far as target shooting and hunting go as well. The round is enjoyed by shooters, both new and experienced, due to the light recoil and overall performance afforded by the cartridge.
- .380 ACP:The .380 ACP, or .380 Automatic Colt Pistol, was designed by John Moses Browning in 1908. Production of the cartridge began in the same year and saw immediate use in Coltβs Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless handgun. The .380 ACP was derived from the .38 ACP, or .38 Auto cartridge which was introduced in 1900 by Browning. Since its introduction, the cartridge has been used in a variety of firearms such as handguns for concealed carry and even submachine guns. Today, the cartridge is still utilized for defensive purposes and benefits from modern, optimized loadings which increase the effectiveness of the round.
- .30-06 Springfield:Like the name suggests, the .30-06 Springfield was developed by Springfield Armory. The cartridge made its debut in 1906 and was adopted by the military that same year. The β06β in the name actually refers to 1906, the year of the cartridgeβs introduction. The round was borne from a desire to replace the .30-40 Krag cartridge which was being eclipsed by other service rifles at the time. Unlike spitzer-tipped (pointed projectile) cartridges such as the .303 British and 8mm Mauser, the .30-40 Krag featured a round-nosed projectile. The cartridge has been utilized in rifles and machine guns in conflicts across the globe since its inception. Beyond use in armed conflicts, the cartridge has been enjoyed by hunters and target shooters. The cartridge has been utilized by hunters across the globe throughout history. Notably, President Theodore Roosevelt used a .30-06 Springfield chambered rifle on safari in Africa. At the end of the day, the cartridge is a round which has been proven in both combat and in the field that continues to be popular today.
- 20 Gauge:The 20 gauge is a popular mid-sized shotgun gauge known for its balance of power and reduced recoil compared to larger gauges. Introduced in the early 20th century, the 20 gauge provides excellent performance while being more manageable for smaller-framed shooters and youth. The 20 gauge is highly regarded for upland hunting and recreational shooting due to its moderate recoil, good ballistic performance, and effectiveness on small to medium game birds.
Common Barnes Bullet Types
- Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP):JHP loadings feature hollow point projectiles which are adorned with a full metal jacket. These loadings are generally found in the form of defensive ammo offerings and are designed to facilitate reliable expansion upon impact. Additionally, these types of loadings are designed to achieve adequate levels of penetration for defensive purposes while not overpenetrating the target and risking collateral damage. A good hollow point loading is one that achieves an appropriate level of penetration while expanding reliably upon impact within the target.
- Buckshot:These loadings feature multiple large projectiles. These projectiles are considerably larger than the projectiles found in birdshot and target loadings. For example, a 00 buckshot loading will feature 8 pellets which are about .33β in diameter. There are also some buckshot loadings which feature more projectiles and utilize smaller projectiles. These types of loadings are well-suited for hunting use and for self-defense.
- Open Tip Match (OTM):These types of loadings will generally feature heavier projectiles and are well-suited to precision-oriented shooting. Material has been removed from these projectiles, hence the βOpen-Tip Matchβ designation, helping achieve high velocities. While technically a hollow point, these loadings are designed for superior ballistic performance and not intended to function as standard hollow points.
