Barnes TSX 22 Caliber 45gr Flat Base Bullets - 50 Count Box

The Barnes TSX 22 Caliber 45gr Flat Base bullets deliver exceptional expansion and weight retention for precision shooting applications. These all-copper hollow point bullets feature Barnes' proven Triple-Shock X technology, engineered to create devastating terminal performance while maintaining structural integrity.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment upon impact, the Barnes TSX maintains 99% weight retention through its solid copper construction. The hollow point cavity initiates controlled expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps, while four razor-sharp cutting petals create maximum tissue damage. This design eliminates lead contamination concerns while delivering superior penetration compared to conventional hunting bullets.

Key Features

• All-copper construction with 99% weight retention for deep penetration
• Triple-Shock X hollow point design with four cutting petals
• 45-grain weight optimized for .22 caliber rifles and fast-twist barrels
• Flat base configuration for consistent accuracy in standard chambers
• Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
• Expands reliably at velocities from 1,800 to 4,000+ fps
• Precision-manufactured to +/- 0.0005" tolerance standards

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2x diameter expansion across various impact velocities, making these bullets effective for varmint hunting and predator control. The copper construction reduces barrel fouling compared to gilding metal jackets, extending accuracy between cleanings. Hunters report clean, humane kills on game from prairie dogs to coyotes, with minimal meat damage due to controlled expansion characteristics.
