Barnes Multi-Purpose Green (MPG™) bullets are engineered with technology developed for military and law enforcement applications. The 30 Caliber 150 Grain Hollow Point Flat Base bullets feature a bullet diameter of 0.308 inch and length of 1.289 inch, making them ideal for reloading in .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 NATO calibers. These bullets feature a highly frangible, powdered-metal copper-tin core inside a guilding metal jacket, and unlike frangible bullets lacking a protective jacket, MPG bullets remain intact under the rigors of handling, feeding and firing.
This design eliminates the primary cause of jammed actions and plugged barrels often experienced when firing frangible ammunition. The 150-grain 7.62mm (.308) version is designed for AR-10, SR-25, M40 (Remington 700), and M14 rifles with 1:12″ or faster rifling twists, and these open-tip bullets remain intact at ultra-high velocities and extreme rates of spin. On impact, they deliver explosive fragmentation.
Barnes Multi-Purpose Green bullets are exceptionally accurate and ideal for shooting steel targets, competition, plinking, varmint hunting and home defense. “Green” is military shorthand for “lead-free,” and these bullets are certified by the State of California to be in compliance with the California Lead-Free Ban and meet the criteria under the Condor Preservation Act. Each box contains 50 reloading bullets ready for handloaders and competitive shooters.
