Barnes Tipped TSX 338 Cal 160gr Flat Base Bullets - 50 Count Box

The Barnes Tipped TSX 338 caliber 160-grain bullets deliver exceptional expansion and weight retention for hunters demanding consistent terminal performance. These flat base bullets feature Barnes' proven TSX design enhanced with a polymer tip for improved ballistic coefficient and reliable expansion at all impact velocities.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the Tipped TSX maintains 99% of its original weight while expanding to nearly double diameter. The solid copper construction eliminates lead fouling in the barrel and provides deeper penetration than conventional bullets. The polymer tip initiates expansion at lower velocities while improving long-range ballistics compared to the standard TSX design.

Key Features

• Solid copper construction retains 99% weight for maximum penetration
• Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient and ensures expansion
• Four razor-sharp cutting petals create devastating wound channels
• Flat base design optimizes accuracy in standard hunting rifles
• Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
• 160-grain weight ideal for medium to large game hunting
• Precision-manufactured to +/- 0.0005" tolerances

Field performance demonstrates reliable expansion from 1,600 fps to over 3,000 fps impact velocities. The TSX design creates massive tissue damage while maintaining straight-line penetration through heavy bone and muscle. Hunters report clean pass-throughs on elk and moose with excellent blood trails. The lead-free construction makes these bullets legal in all hunting areas, including California condor zones.
