Product Description
For handloaders who want lead-free performance on large game the Barnes Tipped TSX (TTSX) is a 168-grain .30 cal rifle bullet that?s been machined from 100% copper. The polymer tip raises the ballistic coefficient and improves long-range ballistics driving fast expansion the moment the bullet hits.
Barnes builds this .308"" projectile with a solid copper body and a boat tail base which is where the TTSXBT designation comes from: Tipped Triple-Shock X Boat Tail. On impact the bullet opens into four razor-sharp petals increasing in diameter by up to 50%. With no lead core to shed the copper stays intact through bone and heavy muscle.
As a reloading component the .308"" diameter loads in any 30-caliber cartridge you build. That includes staples like the .308 Winchester and the .30-06 Springfield along with magnums such as the .300 Winchester Magnum. These match by bullet diameter so work up your charge from published data on your specific cartridge and rifle. For accuracy Barnes notes that these bullets usually group best when seated 0.030 to 0.070 inches off the lands so start there and adjust to what your barrel likes.
