The Barnes Bullets 30274 Tipped TSX delivers exceptional expansion and weight retention for 270 Winchester hunters seeking maximum terminal performance. This 110-grain boat tail bullet combines the proven TSX design with a polymer tip for improved ballistic coefficient and rapid expansion on impact.
What Makes This Different
The Tipped TSX features Barnes' signature all-copper construction with four razor-sharp cutting petals that expand to nearly double the original diameter. Unlike lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, this design retains 99% of its weight while creating devastating wound channels. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps, making it effective at extended ranges where traditional bullets may fail to open.
Key Features
- All-copper construction retains 99% of bullet weight for maximum penetration
- Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient and initiates consistent expansion
- Four cutting petals create wound channels up to 1.5x bullet diameter
- Boat tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectory and wind resistance
- Lead-free construction meets California and other non-lead hunting regulations
- Precision-machined grooves reduce barrel fouling compared to solid copper bullets
- 110-grain weight optimized for high-velocity performance in 270 Winchester
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1-2 inch groups at 100 yards from quality rifles with proper load development. The lighter 110-grain weight achieves higher velocities than heavier bullets, delivering flatter trajectories ideal for long-range shots on deer-sized game. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance due to the stable copper construction and streamlined profile.
