Performance and Terminal Ballistics

The core of this load is the TSX Tipped TSX or TSX FN bullet design, built to produce double-diameter expansion with maximum weight retention. Multiple grooves in the bullet shank reduce pressure and improve accuracy, while the nose peels back into four sharp-edged copper petals on impact to deliver devastating energy transfer. That combination produces deep pass-through penetration and significant tissue and bone disruption—qualities hunters count on for quick, humane kills on game like whitetail deer, elk, antelope, and boar.

Why the TSX Design Matters

Unlike traditional jacketed bullets that can fragment or plug, TSX bullets are solid copper and open instantly on contact. The rapid, reliable expansion profile reduces uncertainty at varying ranges and impact velocities, making the load versatile across seasons and terrain.

Accuracy, Construction, and Use Cases

BARNES is a noted brand in projectiles and the model range covered under Various allows shooters to select the right weight and configuration for their rifle platform. The multiple-groove shank helps stabilize the bullet and lowers peak chamber pressures while enhancing shot-to-shot consistency—key for ethical field shots and long-range precision work. At a listed price of $43.99, this ammunition represents a performance-focused option for serious hunters and precision shooters.
