Premium Copper Bullets for Serious Hunters
Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock X (TTSX) bullets represent the pinnacle of modern bullet design for hunters who demand reliable, one-shot performance on large game. These .308 165-grain projectiles combine cutting-edge engineering with time-tested principles to deliver consistent results in the field.
Key Features
- Polymer Tip Design: Increases ballistic coefficient for superior long-range performance while initiating controlled expansion
- 100% Copper Construction: Delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance without lead
- Rapid Expansion: Re-engineered nose cavity creates four razor-sharp petals that expand to 50 percent larger diameter upon impact
- Boat Tail Profile: Optimized aerodynamics for flatter trajectories and retained velocity downrange
Performance Characteristics
The polymer tip serves dual purpose—boosting ballistic coefficient for improved long-range flight characteristics while reliably initiating expansion upon impact. The four-petal design ensures devastating wound channels and maximum energy transfer to the target.
Reloading Recommendations
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 range allows you to find the sweet spot for your particular firearm.
The Bottom Line
When serious power is required, Barnes Tipped TSX bullets deliver the reliability and performance that experienced hunters trust for clean, ethical harvests.
