Barnes Tipped TSX 8mm 160gr Boat Tail Bullets
Barnes Tipped TSX bullets deliver one-shot capability for large game. Polymer tip boosts ballistic coefficient for long-range performance while four razor-sharp petals expand 50% upon impact for devastating terminal effect.
Premium Copper Bullets for Serious Hunters
Barnes Tipped TSX (TTSX) bullets represent the pinnacle of modern bullet design for hunters who demand reliable, one-shot performance on large game. These 160-grain .323" boat-tail projectiles combine proven terminal performance with enhanced long-range ballistics.
Design and Construction
100% Copper Construction: Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, Barnes Tipped TSX bullets are engineered from solid copper, delivering superior accuracy and consistent performance across a wide range of hunting scenarios.
Polymer Tip Technology: The proprietary polymer tip serves dual purposes—it increases the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and longer effective range, while also initiating rapid, controlled expansion upon impact.
Terminal Performance
Upon striking game, the bullet's re-engineered nose cavity promotes immediate expansion. Four razor-sharp copper petals deploy outward, increasing the bullet's diameter by 50 percent. This controlled expansion creates a devastating wound channel while maintaining deep penetration necessary for ethical, one-shot kills on large game animals.
Reloading Specifications
For optimal accuracy, seat these bullets between 0.030 and 0.070 inches off the lands, depending on your specific rifle's chamber characteristics. This flexibility allows handloaders to fine-tune performance for their individual firearms.
Why Choose Barnes Tipped TSX
When serious power is required, these bullets deliver. Whether you're hunting at close range or stretching shots to extended distances, the combination of enhanced ballistic coefficient and devastating terminal performance makes them an excellent choice for hunters who refuse to compromise.
