The Barnes TSX 22 caliber 70-grain boat tail bullets deliver exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for varmint hunting and precision shooting applications. These all-copper bullets feature Barnes' proven Triple-Shock X technology, creating devastating wound channels while maintaining structural integrity through tough hide and bone.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the Barnes TSX maintains 100% weight retention through its solid copper construction. The four razor-sharp cutting petals expand reliably at velocities as low as 1,800 fps, doubling bullet diameter for maximum tissue damage. This consistent expansion pattern produces larger wound channels than comparable lead bullets while eliminating lead contamination in game meat.
Key Features
- All-copper construction ensures 100% weight retention and deep penetration
- Four precision-engineered cutting petals create devastating wound channels
- Boat tail design reduces drag for improved ballistic coefficient and accuracy
- Grooved shank reduces barrel fouling and pressure buildup
- 70-grain weight optimized for 22-250 Remington and similar high-velocity cartridges
- Lead-free construction meets California hunting regulations
- Consistent manufacturing tolerances deliver match-grade accuracy potential
Field testing demonstrates the TSX bullet's ability to maintain trajectory stability beyond 300 yards while delivering reliable expansion on medium game. The boat tail configuration reduces wind drift compared to flat-base designs, making these bullets effective for long-range varmint control and competitive shooting disciplines. Copper construction eliminates the barrel leading common with traditional bullets, extending accuracy between cleanings.
