Barnes-X Punte 7mm Cal 160gr TSX FB 50's
The Barnes-X Punte 7mm Cal 160gr TSX FB bullets are engineered for reloaders seeking premium performance in hunting and precision shooting applications. Designed for 7mm caliber rifles, these projectiles feature an all-copper construction and a hollow point flat base profile, making them suitable for medium to large game hunting where deep penetration and weight retention are critical. Each box contains 50 component bullets, ideal for those who demand consistency and reliability in their custom loads.
Product Overview
Manufactured by Barnes-X, these 7mm 160 grain TSX (Triple-Shock X) flat base bullets are crafted from 100%% copper, eliminating lead and ensuring compliance with lead-free regulations. The hollow point design initiates rapid expansion upon impact, forming four sharp petals that enhance tissue disruption and penetration, even through heavy bone. With a ballistic coefficient of 0.488 and a sectional density of 0.283, these bullets deliver stable flight and effective energy transfer at a wide range of velocities. Barnes recommends seating the bullets 0.050" off the lands for optimal accuracy, with fine-tuning between 0.030" and 0.070" depending on your rifle. These are component bullets only and require proper handloading procedures.
