Barnes Tipped TSX 30 Cal 180gr Boat Tail Bullets - 50/Box

The Barnes Tipped TSX 30 Cal 180gr Boat Tail bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance through advanced all-copper construction and polymer tip technology. These precision-engineered projectiles maintain 99% weight retention while expanding to nearly twice their original diameter for devastating wound channels.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the Tipped TSX features a solid copper body that retains virtually all its weight upon impact. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion at lower velocities than standard TSX bullets while maintaining the deep penetration characteristics that made Barnes bullets legendary among hunters. Four razor-sharp petals peel back uniformly to create maximum tissue damage without the lead contamination issues of conventional projectiles.

Key Features

• All-copper construction ensures 99% weight retention and deep penetration
• Polymer tip design improves ballistic coefficient and initiates expansion
• Boat tail profile reduces drag for flatter trajectory and enhanced accuracy
• Four-petal expansion creates consistent wound channels across velocity ranges
• Lead-free design eliminates meat contamination and meets non-toxic requirements
• Precision manufacturing maintains consistent concentricity for accuracy
• Compatible with standard 30 caliber rifles including .308 Win, .30-06, .300 Win Mag

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion down to 1,800 fps impact velocity, making these bullets effective at extended hunting ranges. The combination of deep penetration and controlled expansion proves equally effective on thin-skinned game like whitetail deer and larger species including elk and moose. California hunters particularly value the lead-free construction that complies with non-toxic ammunition regulations while delivering superior terminal performance.
