Product Overview
Manufactured by Barnes-X, a leader in innovative bullet design, the TSX BT (Triple-Shock X Boat Tail) features an all-copper construction that eliminates lead, resulting in a cleaner shot and compliance with lead-free regulations where applicable. The monolithic copper design enhances weight retention and delivers uniform expansion, while the boat tail profile improves ballistic efficiency for flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift. These bullets are renowned for their ability to provide deep penetration and controlled expansion, making them a preferred choice for hunters targeting medium to large game. The grooved shank further reduces fouling and improves accuracy, supporting consistent performance shot after shot.
