Barnes TSX .308 130-Grain Boat Tail Bullets

Barnes TSX Bullets: All-Copper Performance

The Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) represents a fundamental shift in bullet design and performance. Built from 100 percent copper, these .308 caliber, 130-grain projectiles deliver the kind of reliable, deep penetration that serious hunters demand.

Design and Construction

The TSX features multiple, precisely engineered rings cut into the bullet shank. These relief valves serve a critical function: they reduce bearing surface pressure as the bullet travels down the bore, resulting in:

• Improved accuracy through more consistent velocities
• Reduced pressures, allowing for higher velocity loads
• Less copper fouling in your barrel

Performance Characteristics

Upon impact, the TSX expands to create four razor-sharp petals with exceptional cutting capability. The all-copper construction ensures:

• 100% weight retention for deep, consistent penetration
• 28% deeper penetration than traditional lead-core bullets
• No fragmentation, maintaining energy transfer through bone and tissue
• Reliable expansion on game at all practical hunting distances

Practical Considerations

For optimal accuracy, seat these bullets 0.03 to 0.07 inches off the lands, adjusting based on your specific rifle. Each box contains 50 bullets ready for handloading.

The TSX is the choice for hunters who understand that one shot, properly placed, is better than several poorly placed rounds.
