The Barnes TSX 25 caliber 115 grain flat base bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance through their proven all-copper construction and precision engineering. These bullets eliminate lead fouling while providing consistent expansion and weight retention across diverse hunting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The TSX (Triple-Shock X) design features a solid copper body with four razor-sharp cutting petals that expand reliably at velocities as low as 1,800 fps. Unlike conventional lead-core bullets that can fragment or lose mass on impact, the TSX retains nearly 100% of its original weight while creating devastating wound channels. The flat base configuration optimizes performance in standard twist rates while maintaining excellent accuracy potential.
Key Features
- All-copper construction eliminates lead fouling and barrel contamination
- Four-petal expansion design creates maximum tissue damage
- Flat base profile ensures stability in 1:10 twist barrels
- 115-grain weight optimized for .25-06 Remington and .257 Roberts
- Precision manufacturing maintains consistent ballistic coefficients
- Lead-free design complies with non-toxic ammunition regulations
- Grooved shank reduces bearing surface and barrel pressure
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2x bullet diameter expansion across impact velocities from 1,800 to 3,200 fps. The TSX bullets penetrate deeply through heavy bone and muscle while maintaining straight tracking paths. Hunters report excellent performance on medium game including deer, antelope, and black bear at ranges extending beyond 300 yards.
