Barnes TSX Triple-Shock X Bullets

The Barnes TSX represents a fundamental shift in bullet design philosophy. Built from 100% copper with no lead core, these projectiles deliver the kind of performance that separates ethical hunters from the rest.

Key Features

  • All-copper construction with no fragmentation
  • Four razor-sharp petals that expand reliably on impact
  • 100% weight retention for deep, consistent penetration
  • 28% deeper penetration than traditional lead-core bullets
  • Precisely engineered relief rings cut into the bullet shank
  • Reduced copper fouling for easier barrel maintenance
  • Lower pressures allow for higher velocity loads
  • Improved accuracy through optimized bore dynamics

Performance and Application

The TSX is purpose-built for hunters who demand one-shot kills on dangerous game. The relief rings act as pressure valves as the bullet travels down the bore, resulting in more consistent velocities and tighter groups. Upon impact, the bullet expands into four cutting petals with exceptional penetration through dense bone and tissue—critical when hunting large, tough game.

Reloading Notes

For optimal accuracy, seat these bullets 0.03 to 0.07 inches from the lands, adjusting based on your specific rifle. The all-copper construction requires slightly different load development than traditional bullets, but the results justify the effort.
