Coming off the successful 2025 introduction of the Harvest Collection, Barnes Bullets is proud to announce the addition of nine new, highly requested offerings for 2026. Earlier this year at SHOT Show, the line was expanded with the addition of 6mm ARC, 7mm PRC and 7mm-08 Remington cartridges, further strengthening its centerfire lineup. Now, Barnes continues that momentum with six new offerings, including the all-new Harvest Collection Straightwall series and the Big Woods Bucks® edition.
"Following the launch of Harvest Collection and the overwhelming support from both retailers and consumers, it was clear there was strong demand for additional offerings," said Dale Evans, Marketing Manager for Barnes Bullets. "These new additions round out the line and reinforce our commitment to delivering premium performance at a price point that makes it more accessible to hunters across the country."
The Harvest Collection Straightwall series will initially be available in four popular cartridges: .350 Legend, .400 Legend, .45-70 Government and .450 Bushmaster. Designed specifically for hunters in straightwall-restricted states, these loads feature the proven Sierra Pro-Hunter® bullet. A trusted choice for generations, the Pro-Hunter is known for its rugged construction, deep penetration, and high weight retention—delivering dependable terminal performance when it matters most.
In addition, Barnes has partnered with Big Woods Bucks® to introduce a special edition offering in .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield, both loaded with a 180-grain Sierra Pro-Hunter® bullet. Backed by decades of experience from Hal Blood and the BWB team, this round-nose design is optimized for hunting in dense, thick cover—providing rapid expansion while maintaining a straight, penetrating path through heavy brush. "The entire Big Woods Bucks team is excited to launch this collaboration with the world-renowned Barnes and Sierra brands. This ammunition brings the history and proven performance of the Pro-Hunter bullet together with modern premium components making it the perfect combination for trackers, still-hunters and stand hunters alike." says Mark Scheeren, Co-Director Strategic Partnerships for Big Woods Bucks.
The additions to the Barnes Harvest Collection, including the new Straightwall series and Big Woods Bucks® edition, will be available soon at retailers nationwide and online at www.barnesbullets.com.
