The Barnes Tipped TSX 25 caliber 80-grain bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance through their proven triple-shock design enhanced with a polymer tip. These boat tail bullets achieve superior ballistic coefficients while maintaining the devastating expansion characteristics that made Barnes TSX ammunition a favorite among precision shooters and hunters.
What Makes This Different
The Tipped TSX combines Barnes' legendary triple-shock X bullet technology with a precision-molded polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact. Unlike conventional hollow point designs that can clog with debris, the polymer tip ensures consistent expansion across varying impact velocities. The all-copper construction retains 99% of its weight while creating four razor-sharp petals that devastate tissue.
Key Features
- 80-grain boat tail design optimizes ballistic coefficient for extended range accuracy
- Polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps
- All-copper construction eliminates lead fouling and meets non-toxic requirements
- Triple-shock X grooves reduce barrel friction and fouling buildup
- Boat tail base design improves long-range trajectory and wind resistance
- Compatible with standard 25 caliber rifles including .25-06 and .257 Weatherby
- Manufactured to match-grade tolerances for consistent accuracy
Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain accuracy standards exceeding 1 MOA in quality rifle platforms while delivering devastating terminal performance on medium game. The 80-grain weight provides optimal sectional density for the 25 caliber bore, ensuring adequate penetration on deer-sized game while maintaining flat trajectory characteristics. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance due to the aerodynamic boat tail profile and consistent copper construction.
