Barnes Banded Solid bullets in .416 caliber are purpose-built for dangerous game hunting where penetration and reliability are non-negotiable. Each of these 400-grain solid rounds is machined from a homogenous copper/zinc alloy designed to resist deformation on heavy bone and muscle, making them a dependable choice when hunting large, dangerous game. Unlike expanding rounds that can fail on hard bone or deflect off dense tissue, Banded Solids deliver straight-line penetration and consistent performance in the most demanding hunting situations.

The signature feature is the band design—multiple rings cut into the bullet's shank that relieve pressure buildup and virtually eliminate copper fouling in your barrel. This design means cleaner shooting and less downrange frustration, especially important when you're preparing ammunition for a hunt where barrel condition directly affects accuracy and reliability. The modern nose geometry tracks straighter through bone and muscle than earlier designs, giving you more consistent performance across different shot placements.

A smart engineering choice: Barnes weight-matched these Banded Solids with their TSX expanding bullets of the same caliber, so you can handload both types and hold the same zero. This flexibility lets you load for multiple game situations without re-zeroing your rifle. The round-nose profile also makes these excellent for fur-bearing game where you need controlled penetration without excessive damage to the pelt. You get 50 bullets per box, ready for handloading into your .416 rifle.
