The Barnes Bullets 30187 Tipped TSX delivers consistent expansion and deep penetration through its proven all-copper construction and polymer tip design. This 55-grain boat tail bullet maintains structural integrity while creating devastating wound channels across various hunting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
The Tipped TSX features a blue polymer tip that initiates expansion upon impact while the all-copper body retains 99% of its original weight. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, this monolithic design drives through bone and tissue while maintaining a straight wound channel. The boat tail profile reduces drag and extends effective range compared to flat-base alternatives.Key Features
- All-copper monolithic construction retains 99% weight for maximum penetration

- Four razor-sharp cutting petals create wide wound channels
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations including California requirements
- Precision-machined grooves reduce barrel fouling and pressure
- Consistent 55-grain weight maintains point of impact across lot numbers
