Barnes TSX .310 123gr Boat Tail Bullets 7.62x39

Barnes Triple-Shock X Bullets for 7.62x39

The Barnes TSX represents a fundamental shift in bullet design philosophy. Machined from solid copper rather than traditional lead-core construction, these projectiles deliver performance characteristics that serious hunters have demanded for decades.

Design and Performance

Upon impact, the TSX expands into four razor-sharp petals that cut deep into vital areas while the solid copper construction ensures 100% weight retention. This combination of controlled expansion and mass preservation translates to deeper penetration through dense bone and heavy tissue—critical factors when hunting large game where a one-shot kill is the ethical standard.

What Makes Them Different

• All-copper construction eliminates lead and delivers consistent, predictable expansion
• Four-petal design creates a cutting diameter significantly larger than the original bullet diameter
• 100% weight retention means no fragmentation and maximum penetration
• Proven accuracy when seated 0.03 to 0.07 inches off the lands, depending on your specific rifle

Practical Considerations

These are premium hunting bullets designed for shooters who understand that ammunition selection directly impacts ethical hunting outcomes. The 123-grain weight in .310 diameter is well-suited to the 7.62x39 platform, whether you're working with a modern sporting rifle or a classic design. Each box contains 50 bullets ready for handloading.

For hunters who refuse to compromise on terminal performance, the TSX remains the standard against which other expanding bullets are measured.
