The Barnes TSX 7mm 140gr Boat Tail bullets deliver devastating terminal performance through their all-copper construction and proven triple-shock design. These premium hunting bullets expand reliably while retaining nearly 100% of their original weight, creating deep wound channels that drop game quickly and cleanly.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the TSX features four razor-sharp copper petals that peel back on impact while the solid copper shank drives deep into vital organs. This monolithic design eliminates the risk of core separation that plagues traditional bullets. The boat tail profile reduces drag and maintains velocity downrange, extending effective hunting range compared to flat-base designs.
Key Features
- All-copper monolithic construction retains 99-100% weight for maximum penetration
- Triple-Shock X design creates four cutting petals for devastating wound channels
- 140-grain weight optimized for medium to large game hunting applications
- Boat tail base design improves ballistic coefficient and long-range accuracy
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations including California requirements
- Precise manufacturing ensures consistent accuracy and terminal performance
- Compatible with standard 7mm cartridges including 7mm-08, .280 Rem, and 7mm Rem Mag
Field testing demonstrates the TSX consistently expands at velocities as low as 1,800 fps while maintaining structural integrity at magnum velocities exceeding 3,200 fps. The controlled expansion creates wound channels 2-3 times bullet diameter while the retained shank ensures complete pass-throughs on broadside shots. Hunters report clean, ethical kills on elk, deer, and similar-sized game with minimal meat damage compared to fragmenting bullets.
