The Barnes TTSX 35 Caliber 200gr Tipped TSX delivers exceptional terminal performance through its all-copper construction and polymer tip design. This boat tail bullet expands reliably while retaining nearly 100% of its weight, making it a top choice for hunters pursuing medium to large game where deep penetration and controlled expansion are critical.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the Barnes TTSX features a solid copper body with four precision-cut grooves that reduce barrel fouling by up to 80%. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps while the hollow cavity ensures consistent mushrooming across various impact velocities. This monolithic design eliminates core separation issues common with bonded bullets.
Key Features
- All-copper monolithic construction retains 99-100% weight for maximum penetration
- Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient and triggers reliable expansion
- Four precision grooves reduce barrel fouling and improve accuracy
- Boat tail design improves long-range ballistic performance
- 200-grain weight optimized for .35 caliber cartridges
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
- Consistent 1.5x diameter expansion across velocity ranges
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The TTSX maintains structural integrity through heavy bone while creating devastating wound channels in soft tissue. Hunters report excellent performance on elk, moose, and bear at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. The reduced fouling characteristics allow for extended shooting sessions without accuracy degradation.
