Barnes-X Punte 30 Cal 150gr TSX BT
The Barnes-X Punte 30 Cal 150gr TSX BT is a premium reloading bullet designed for hunters and precision shooters seeking reliable terminal performance and environmental compliance. Engineered for .30 caliber rifles, this bullet features Barnes’ renowned all-copper TSX (Triple-Shock X) construction and a boat tail profile for improved ballistic efficiency. It is a popular choice for reloading enthusiasts targeting medium to large game where deep penetration and weight retention are critical.
Product Overview
Manufactured by Barnes-X, the 150 grain TSX BT bullet is constructed entirely from copper, eliminating lead and ensuring compliance with lead-free regulations such as California’s Condor Preservation Act. Upon impact, the TSX design expands to form four sharp petals, enhancing wound channels and facilitating penetration through bone and dense tissue. The boat tail base aids in maintaining accuracy and ballistic consistency, making this bullet suitable for a wide range of .30 caliber hunting and shooting applications. Barnes recommends seating these bullets approximately 0.050" off the lands for optimal accuracy, with fine-tuning between 0.030" and 0.070" depending on rifle chamber dimensions. This product is a component bullet and is not loaded ammunition.

Further Product Details
Suitable for a wide range of .30 caliber cartridges, the Barnes-X Punte 150gr TSX BT is compatible with popular hunting rifles chambered in calibers such as .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum, among others.

For optimal results, careful attention to seating depth and overall cartridge length during the reloading process is recommended. This bullet is supplied as a reloading component only; primers, powder, and cases are not included.
Hunters in regions with strict environmental regulations, including South Africa, should verify local compliance requirements before use. As with all reloading components, adherence to safe reloading practices and published load data is essential.
