The 30 cal 212gr BoreRider is a unique LRX product which offers an innovative design that reduces drag (increases BC), increases case capacity, and reduces bearing surface. Please pay special attention to the following details before ordering:
The bullet will protrude the shell case mouth by ~1.38"! This makes the round extremely long. Here are a few ways to feed the long cartridge in your rifle:<
This is a bore rider bullet design. Only a short section of full .3080" diameter remains seated in the case neck. Forward of this, the bullet transitions to bore diameter, which aligns it precisely with the rifle bore—even before firing. This alignment reduces yaw and improves concentricity for enhanced accuracy.
Because the nose begins at bore diameter, it doesn’t engrave into the rifling. This allows for a highly secant ogive profile, which optimizes aerodynamics and minimizes drag.
With only a short section at full diameter, TSX grooves are unnecessary, further improving flight efficiency. The solid copper construction and streamlined profile combine to deliver exceptional ballistic performance.
Every design choice in this bullet—starting from its bore rider construction to the secant ogive nose and the omission of TSX grooves—works in concert to maximize aerodynamic efficiency. By minimizing surface disruption, improving bore alignment, and streamlining the nose profile, Barnes has engineered its highest BC LRX bullet to date. The result is a long-range projectile that maintains velocity and resists drag better than any other in the lineup.
