Description

The Barnes TSX 8mm 180gr Boat Tail bullets deliver devastating terminal performance through proven all-copper construction that retains 99% of its weight upon impact. These lead-free hunting bullets expand reliably across velocity ranges while maintaining deep penetration through heavy bone and tissue.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the TSX (Triple-Shock X) design features four razor-sharp copper petals that peel back uniformly for maximum wound channel diameter. The all-copper construction eliminates lead fouling in barrels while meeting lead-free hunting regulations in California and other jurisdictions. Independent ballistic testing shows 95-100% weight retention compared to 60-80% for conventional bullets.

Key Features

All-copper construction retains 99% weight for maximum penetration
Four-petal expansion creates 2x original diameter wound channels
Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient and long-range accuracy
Lead-free formula complies with California and federal hunting regulations
180-grain weight optimized for medium to large game hunting
Precision-machined grooves reduce barrel fouling by 80%
50-bullet bulk packaging for serious hunters and reloaders

Field performance data from multiple hunting seasons demonstrates consistent expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 3,200 fps. The 180-grain weight provides optimal sectional density for 8mm cartridges including 8x57 Mauser, 8mm Remington Magnum, and 325 WSM. Weather-resistant copper construction maintains accuracy in extreme temperature variations from -40°F to 140°F.
