The Barnes TSX 270 Winchester 130 grain boat tail bullets deliver exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for big game hunting. These all-copper bullets expand reliably while retaining nearly 100% of their original weight, creating devastating wound channels without lead contamination.
What Makes This Different
The Triple-Shock X (TSX) design features four razor-sharp cutting petals that deploy upon impact, creating maximum tissue damage while maintaining deep penetration. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the solid copper construction ensures consistent expansion across a wide range of velocities. The boat tail profile reduces drag and improves ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and enhanced long-range accuracy.
Key Features
- All-copper construction retains 99-100% bullet weight for maximum penetration
- Four-petal expansion design creates 1.5x original diameter wound channels
- Boat tail base design improves ballistic coefficient and downrange performance
- Lead-free construction eliminates meat contamination and meets non-toxic hunting requirements
- Precision-machined grooves reduce barrel fouling and maintain accuracy
- 130 grain weight optimized for 270 Winchester ballistics and medium to large game
- 50-bullet bulk packaging for extended shooting sessions and load development
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The TSX bullets perform effectively on game from whitetail deer to elk at ranges extending beyond 400 yards. The copper construction withstands high-velocity impacts without jacket separation, maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and dense tissue. California-compliant design makes these bullets suitable for hunting in areas requiring non-lead ammunition.
