The Barnes TTSX 25 caliber 100-grain bullets deliver devastating terminal performance through their proven all-copper construction and polymer tip design. These boat tail projectiles expand reliably at both high and low velocities while maintaining nearly 100% weight retention for deep penetration on game animals.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment and lose mass, the Barnes Tipped TSX features solid copper construction with four razor-sharp petals that peel back consistently. The polymer tip initiates expansion at impact velocities as low as 1,800 fps, making these bullets effective across a wide range of hunting distances. Independent ballistic testing shows the TTSX retains 95-100% of its original weight while creating wound channels 2-3 times the bullet diameter.
Key Features
- All-copper construction eliminates lead contamination in meat
- Polymer tip ensures reliable expansion at 1,800-4,000+ fps impact velocities
- Four-petal design creates maximum wound channel diameter
- Boat tail profile improves ballistic coefficient and long-range accuracy
- Grooved shank reduces barrel fouling and pressure
- Near 100% weight retention for deep penetration
- California compliant for lead-free hunting zones
Field performance data from multiple hunting seasons shows consistent expansion and penetration on medium to large game animals. The TTSX design maintains structural integrity through heavy bone while creating sufficient tissue damage for quick, ethical kills. These bullets perform effectively in cartridges from the 25-06 Remington to 257 Weatherby Magnum, maintaining accuracy standards of 1-1.5 MOA in quality rifle systems.
