Barnes Triple-Shock X-Bullets: Precision Copper Construction

The Barnes Triple-Shock X-Bullet represents a fundamental shift in hunting ammunition design. Manufactured from 100 percent copper, these projectiles deliver the kind of performance that separates ethical hunters from the rest.

Design and Performance

Expansion and Penetration

  • Expands upon impact, creating four razor-sharp petals
  • Deep cutting capability through vital areas
  • Penetrates dense bone and tissue reliably
  • Retains 100 percent of original weight—no fragmentation

This weight retention is critical. Unlike conventional bullets that shed fragments and lose energy, the TSX maintains its mass throughout the wound channel, ensuring consistent, deep penetration even through heavy bone.

Accuracy and Reloading

For handloaders, Barnes recommends seating depth between 0.03 to 0.07 inches from the lands, depending on your specific rifle. This range allows you to fine-tune accuracy to your firearm's chamber characteristics.

The Bottom Line

These bullets are engineered for hunters who demand one-shot kills. Whether you're pursuing medium to large game, the TSX delivers the penetration, expansion, and weight retention that turns a shot into a clean, ethical harvest. Each box contains 50 bullets ready for reloading.
