Experience unparalleled accuracy with BARNES MULTI-PURPOSE GREEN (MPG) 30 CALIBER BULLETS.
Barnes offers bullets featuring Multi-Purpose Green (MPG™) technology developed for military and law enforcement applications. MPG bullets feature a highly frangible, powdered-metal copper-tin core inside a gilding metal jacket. Unlike frangible bullets lacking a protective jacket, MPG bullets remain intact under the rigors of handling, feeding, and firing. This eliminates the primary cause of jammed actions and plugged barrels often experienced when firing frangible ammunition.

- Weight: 150 grains

The 55-grain 5.56mm (.224) MPG bullet is designed for M4, HK416, and AR-15 type autoloaders and other firearms with rifling twist rates of 1:9” or faster. A 150-grain 7.62mm (.308) version is available for AR-10, SR-25, M40 (Remington 700), and M14 rifles with 1:12” or faster rifling twists. These open-tip bullets remain intact at ultra-high velocities and extreme rates of spin. On impact, they deliver explosive fragmentation.

“Green” is military shorthand for “lead-free”—a requirement in military and law enforcement practice environments.
