The Barnes Banded Solid .500 caliber rifle bullet is a precision-machined copper/zinc alloy projectile engineered for hunters and shooters who demand maximum penetration and reliability on heavy game. At 535 grains with a .510" diameter and round-nose profile, these solids deliver the deep, straight-line performance needed when conventional expanding bullets fall short—whether you're handloading for a custom rifle, testing loads at the range, or preparing for a dangerous-game hunt where shot placement and bullet integrity matter absolutely.
Barnes machined these bullets from homogenous copper/zinc alloy rather than lead, eliminating the risk of fragmentation on heavy bone or deflection through dense muscle. The signature banded design—multiple rings cut into the shank—relieves pressure during firing and virtually eliminates fouling in the bore, keeping your rifle clean and your velocities consistent across a string of shots. The round-nose geometry tracks straighter through challenging material than traditional flat-nose designs, and because these solids are weight-matched with Barnes TSX expanding bullets of the same caliber, you can swap them into your load data without worrying about a point-of-impact shift.
Each box contains 20 bullets, sized for reloaders who need reliable, consistent components. Whether you're working up loads for long-range steel or preparing ammunition for a once-in-a-lifetime hunt, Barnes Banded Solids give you the performance consistency and bone-breaking reliability that justifies the investment in premium handloading components.
| Caliber | .500 |
| Bullet Diameter | .510" |
| Weight | 535 grains |
| Style | Banded Solid Round Nose |
| Count | 20 per box |
| Material | Copper/Zinc Alloy |
Yes. Because these Banded Solids are weight-matched to TSX bullets of the same caliber, you can substitute them in your existing load data without adjusting powder charge or expecting a shift in point of impact.
Banded Solids are built for maximum penetration and reliability on heavy game where bone density and muscle mass demand a bullet that will not deform, deflect, or break apart. They're also the choice for shooters and handloaders who want the simplest, most straightforward ballistic performance without the variables that come with expansion.
The pressure-relief bands cut into the shank are designed to virtually eliminate fouling, helping keep your bore cleaner and maintaining velocity consistency across multiple shots.
The round-nose geometry tracks straighter through dense bone and muscle compared to flat-nose designs, making it more reliable for deep penetration in challenging shooting conditions.
