The Barnes Tipped TSX 338 Lapua Mag 265gr delivers exceptional long-range performance with its polymer-tipped design and all-copper construction. This premium hunting bullet combines the proven expansion characteristics of Barnes TSX technology with improved ballistic coefficients for extended range applications. Long-range hunters and precision shooters rely on these bullets for consistent terminal performance on large game at distances exceeding 800 yards.
What Makes This Different
The Tipped TSX features a blue polymer tip that initiates expansion while maintaining the structural integrity of the all-copper body. Unlike lead-core bullets that can fragment unpredictably, this monolithic copper construction retains 99% of its weight upon impact. The boat tail design reduces drag and improves ballistic coefficient compared to flat-base alternatives, extending effective range by 100-150 yards in typical hunting conditions.Key Features
