The Barnes 30642 Tipped TSX delivers exceptional terminal performance for 458 SOCOM applications, combining the proven TSX design with a polymer tip for improved ballistic coefficient. This 300-grain boat tail configuration maximizes downrange energy retention while maintaining the devastating expansion characteristics Barnes bullets are known for.
What Makes This Different
The Tipped TSX design incorporates a blue polymer tip that initiates expansion upon impact while improving aerodynamics during flight. Unlike conventional lead-core bullets, the all-copper construction ensures 100% weight retention and deeper penetration. The boat tail profile reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base designs, extending effective range and improving wind deflection resistance.Key Features
- All-copper construction with four razor-sharp cutting petals for maximum tissue damage
- Blue polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient and triggers reliable expansion
