Barnes TSX 6mm 85gr Boat Tail Bullets - 50 Count Box

The Barnes TSX 6mm 85gr Boat Tail delivers exceptional terminal performance through its all-copper construction and proven Triple-Shock X design. These premium hunting bullets expand reliably across a wide velocity range while maintaining nearly 100% weight retention for deep, straight-line penetration.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the TSX features four razor-sharp copper petals that peel back consistently upon impact. The hollow-point cavity initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps, making it effective for both close-range and extended shots. Multiple relief grooves reduce barrel fouling by up to 50% compared to solid copper bullets without grooves.

Key Features

• All-copper construction ensures 99-100% weight retention for maximum penetration
• Boat tail design with .277 ballistic coefficient for flat trajectory and wind resistance
• Four-petal expansion creates devastating wound channels while maintaining structural integrity
• Multiple relief grooves minimize copper fouling and maintain accuracy over extended shooting sessions
• 85-grain weight optimized for 6mm cartridges including .243 Winchester, 6mm Creedmoor, and .240 Weatherby
• Precise manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent performance shot after shot
• Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations including California's non-lead requirements

Field testing demonstrates the TSX's ability to penetrate heavy bone and muscle while creating wide wound channels that ensure quick, ethical kills. The bullet performs consistently on game ranging from varmints to medium-sized big game, making it versatile for hunters pursuing multiple species. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance, as the solid copper construction resists deformation from temperature extremes.
