Barnes TSX Bullets: Premium All-Copper Performance

Performance Notes
These bullets are designed for hunters who demand one-shot reliability on big game. For optimal accuracy in your specific rifle, Barnes recommends seating depth between 0.03 and 0.07 inches from the lands. Start at the longer distance and work backward if needed. The TSX's consistent performance across various powder charges makes load development straightforward for both new and experienced reloaders.
