The Barnes TSX 7mm 150gr Boat Tail bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance through their all-copper construction and proven expansion design. These premium hunting bullets maintain 99% weight retention while creating devastating wound channels in big game animals.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the TSX features a solid copper body with four razor-sharp petals that expand reliably at impact velocities as low as 1,800 fps. The boat tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectories and improved long-range accuracy. Independent testing shows these bullets retain nearly all their original weight while penetrating deeper than conventional hunting ammunition.
Key Features
- All-copper construction eliminates lead contamination in meat
- Four-petal expansion creates maximum wound channel diameter
- Boat tail profile improves ballistic coefficient and downrange energy
- 99% weight retention ensures deep, straight-line penetration
- Grooved shank reduces barrel fouling and pressure

Field results demonstrate consistent expansion across various game species from whitetail deer to elk. The TSX bullets perform reliably in both standard and magnum 7mm cartridges, maintaining accuracy standards that satisfy precision shooters. Weather conditions have minimal impact on terminal performance, making these bullets dependable for mountain hunts and adverse conditions.
