Product Overview

Barnes’ 22 Cal 65GR LRX BT is built for shooters who actually stretch their 22s out, not just punch paper at 50 metres. This all-copper, boat-tail hunting pill is purpose-designed around the 22 Creedmoor and 22 ARC, with a minimum 1:8 twist in mind. At 65 grains it’s the heaviest, sleekest .224" LRX Barnes has put out, giving you serious downrange authority, flat trajectories and reliable stability when the wind picks up. The long .702" nose and polymer tip are there for a reason – high BC and consistent expansion on medium game. You get deep penetration, near double-diameter mushrooming and excellent weight retention, so hits land hard and keep driving. If you’re running a fast-twist 22 Creed or ARC and want a copper hunting bullet that holds together, tracks straight and carries energy way past the paddock fence, this 65GR LRX BT is the one to load.
