Barnes TSX .270 Caliber 140-Grain Boat Tail Bullets
All-copper TSX bullets deliver 28% deeper penetration than lead-core alternatives with 100% weight retention. Engineered rings reduce pressure and copper fouling while improving accuracy.
Barnes TSX Bullets: Premium All-Copper Construction
The Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) represents a fundamental shift in bullet design and performance. These all-copper projectiles are engineered for hunters who demand reliability and ethical, one-shot kills on big game.
Key Features
- All-Copper Construction: 100% copper composition eliminates fragmentation and ensures predictable performance
- Superior Penetration: Delivers 28% deeper penetration than traditional lead-core bullets
- Complete Weight Retention: Maintains 100% of original weight through impact and bone

Performance Characteristics
The TSX design prioritizes accuracy and consistency. The engineered rings act as relief valves during the firing process, resulting in improved accuracy and reduced pressures downrange. This allows handloaders to develop higher velocity loads while maintaining safety margins.
Seating Recommendations
For optimal accuracy, seat these bullets 0.03 to 0.07 inches from the lands, adjusting based on your specific rifle's chamber characteristics.
