Product Details

Built for shooters who demand the absolute best, the Barnes Reserve Line sets a new standard of precision and performance for Barnes enthusiasts. Each round is handloaded by our ballistic lab experts using ultra-premium components and is purpose-built for niche and hard-to-find hunting cartridges. Every load is carefully selected and rigorously tested to achieve the lowest standard deviations and match-grade tolerances available today. Barnes Reserve stands as the ultimate benchmark for performance—available exclusively through our website, direct-to-consumer.

The 6.8 Western is a modern, high-performance take on the classic .270 caliber. With a faster 1:8" twist rate, it can stabilize longer, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets that traditional .270 cartridges—like the .270 Winchester and .270 WSM—cannot.
 
Barnes developed the 155-grain LRX specifically for the 6.8 Western to take full advantage of its design. The cartridge’s longer overall length and compatibility with intermediate-length actions allow for heavier projectiles, well beyond the 130–140 grain class typical of older .270s.
 
The 6.8 Western delivers an exceptional balance of velocity, efficiency, and manageable recoil, making it a versatile choice for medium to large game hunting—even at extended ranges. The Barnes 155gr LRX offers excellent terminal performance, and the Barnes Reserve 6.8 Western 155gr LRX ammunition is also renowned for its precision.

    Shipment arrived promptly inside of week. Shipment packaging was exceptional. Reserve ammo comes in a very nice 20 round plastic case. Much better to stuff into my pack than cardboard ammo boxes. Bullets look great. Very happy to see the ammo is loaded using ADG brass. I have not fired this ammo yet. Looking forward to trying this out at the range soon.

    Bullet build is only second to bullet placement. Barnes as always achieves both in their ammunition. Reserve in 6.8 western gives you the best built bullet with incredible accuracy for bullet placement. I got .33 moa out of this. Will be back for more.

    Been asking for a 6.8 Western load for a long time. I have been a big fan of Barnes performance in my 300 and 338 and these new 6.8 Western loads have so far out performed every expectation and even furthered my love for Barnes Ammunition. 10/10 on quality, performance, and accuracy. Will be buying again!

    .4 inch group out of my Seekins PH2. This ammo will take you as far as your fundamentals and rifle will take you. Minus the brass I would pay $75 a box for this ammo, throw in $40 worth of ADG brass and you have yourself a real deal on ammo. Considered deducting a star, because it is sold out and I can't buy another box.
