Barnes TSX Bullets: Premium All-Copper Performance

The Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) represents a fundamental shift in bullet design. Built entirely from copper rather than lead, these projectiles deliver the penetration and reliability serious hunters demand.

Key Features

  • All-copper construction with 100% weight retention
  • Precision-engineered relief rings cut into the bullet shank reduce pressure and copper fouling while improving accuracy
  • Four razor-sharp petals expand reliably on impact for deep, devastating wound channels
  • 28% deeper penetration than traditional lead-core bullets
  • No fragmentation ensures energy is directed where it counts

Performance Characteristics

The TSX design philosophy centers on controlled expansion and maximum penetration. Upon impact, the bullet expands into four cutting petals while the solid copper shank continues driving through bone and dense tissue. This combination makes the TSX exceptionally effective on large game at varying distances.

The relief rings serve dual purposes: they act as pressure relief valves during barrel travel, allowing you to develop higher velocity loads safely, while simultaneously reducing fouling that can degrade accuracy over extended shooting sessions.

Handloading Notes

For optimal accuracy, seat these bullets 0.03 to 0.07 inches off the lands, adjusting based on your specific rifle's chamber. This flexibility allows fine-tuning for your particular firearm.
