Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Barnes Precision Match ammunition suitable for long-range shooting?

Barnes Precision Match ammunition is engineered for long-range accuracy through the use of factory-fresh RUAG brass, specially blended powders for low velocity deviations, and Barnes' Open Tip Match boat tail projectiles. This combination ensures consistency and precision required for extended distances.

What calibers and bullet weights are available in Barnes Precision Match ammunition?

Barnes Precision Match ammunition is offered in 5.56 caliber (69 and 85 grain), .308 Winchester (175 grain), .300 Winchester Magnum (220 grain), and .338 Lapua Magnum (300 grain). The 85-grain 5.56 load is designed for magazine length.

How does Barnes measure ballistic coefficients for their ammunition?

Barnes utilizes Doppler radar technology to measure bullet performance in flight. This method provides actual, measured ballistic coefficients by tracking the bullet's drop and velocity, offering more accurate data than theoretical calculations.

What is the significance of low velocity deviations in precision ammunition?

Low velocity deviations are crucial for long-range shooting consistency. When rounds have very similar velocities, their trajectories are more predictable, allowing for more accurate adjustments to wind and distance, thus improving overall accuracy.
