Federal Premium 30-06 Springfield 165gr Barnes TSX Hunting Ammo

The Federal P3006AF Premium delivers exceptional terminal performance for big game hunting with its 165-grain Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullet design. This premium hunting ammunition combines Federal's precision manufacturing with Barnes' proven all-copper construction for maximum weight retention and devastating expansion.

What Makes This Different

Unlike conventional lead-core bullets, the Barnes TSX features 100% copper construction that retains 99% of its original weight upon impact. The bullet's four razor-sharp cutting petals create massive wound channels while the solid copper shank ensures deep, straight-line penetration through bone and tissue. This design eliminates lead fragmentation concerns while delivering consistent performance across all shot angles and distances.
