Barnes TSX .257 115-Grain Flat Base Bullets
All-copper Barnes TSX bullets in .257 caliber deliver controlled expansion, deep penetration, and 100% weight retention for reliable big game hunting performance.
Barnes TSX Bullets: Purpose-Built for Hunting Excellence
The Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) represents a fundamental shift in bullet design philosophy. These all-copper projectiles are engineered from the ground up for hunters who demand reliability and terminal performance.
Design and Construction
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, TSX bullets feature:
- 100% copper construction with no lead core
- Precisely engineered relief rings cut into the shank that act as pressure valves during barrel transit
- Four razor-sharp petals that deploy upon impact for controlled, predictable expansion
- Complete weight retention — the bullet maintains 100% of its original mass through the animal
Performance Characteristics
The engineering delivers measurable advantages in the field:
- 28% deeper penetration compared to conventional lead-core bullets
- Reduced copper fouling in your barrel, extending cleaning intervals
- Improved accuracy through optimized pressure curves
- Higher velocity capability due to lower pressure signatures
Practical Hunting Application
These .257 caliber, 115-grain bullets are purpose-designed for medium to large game. The controlled expansion and deep penetration ensure clean, ethical kills on deer, elk, and similar game at hunting distances.
For best accuracy, seat bullets 0.03 to 0.07 inches off the lands, adjusting based on your specific rifle's chamber.
Box contains 50 bullets.
