Barnes TSX 30 Caliber 180gr Boat Tail Bullets - 50 Count Box

The Barnes TSX 30 Caliber 180gr Boat Tail bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance through their all-copper construction and precision-engineered design. These premium hunting bullets expand reliably while retaining nearly 100% of their original weight, creating devastating wound channels that drop game quickly and cleanly.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the TSX features a solid copper body with a hollow point cavity engineered for controlled expansion. The four razor-sharp petals peel back consistently to double the bullet diameter while maintaining structural integrity. This design eliminates lead contamination in meat while delivering superior penetration through bone and tough hide compared to conventional hunting ammunition.

Key Features

• All-copper construction retains 99-100% of original weight for maximum penetration
• Precision boat tail design reduces drag and improves long-range ballistic coefficient
• Four-petal expansion creates 2x diameter wound channels for quick, ethical kills
• Lead-free design eliminates meat contamination and complies with non-toxic hunting regulations
• Consistent 1.5-2x diameter expansion across velocity ranges from 1,800-3,200 fps
• Compatible with standard 30-06, .308 Winchester, .300 Win Mag, and similar cartridges
• Grooved shank reduces fouling and maintains accuracy over extended shooting sessions

Field testing demonstrates the TSX's ability to punch through heavy shoulder bones on elk and moose while creating massive internal damage. The controlled expansion pattern works effectively on everything from whitetail deer at close range to long-range shots on antelope across open country. Rain, snow, and temperature extremes don't affect the copper construction, ensuring consistent performance in harsh hunting conditions.
