Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition legal to use for hunting in California?
Yes. The DoubleTap 300 WSM 175gr Barnes LRX is 100% lead-free, making it fully compliant with California's Proposition 65 and the state's mandatory non-lead hunting ammunition regulations. It is approved for use in all California hunting zones where lead-free ammunition is required.
What big game is the Barnes LRX bullet suitable for?
The Barnes LRX is a versatile, all-range hunting bullet designed to handle the full spectrum of North American big game. The combination of the 175-grain weight, high ballistic coefficient, and controlled copper expansion makes it an excellent choice for deer, pronghorn, black bear, elk, and moose — even at extended ranges where terminal velocity has dropped significantly.
How does the Barnes LRX bullet perform compared to standard cup-and-core bullets?
Unlike traditional lead-core cup-and-core bullets, the Barnes LRX is a solid copper construction with a polymer tip that initiates expansion reliably across a wide velocity range. It retains nearly 100% of its weight on impact, driving deeper and creating a larger wound channel than many conventional bullets. This makes it especially effective for heavy-boned game like elk and moose, where penetration to the vitals is critical.
