Barnes TSX .338 250gr Hunting Bullet
The Barnes TSX (Triple-Shock X) is an all-copper, lead-free hunting bullet designed for reliable performance in the field. On impact, four cutting petals peel back to roughly double the calibre, enhancing expansion while the solid copper shank drives deep with near-total weight retention. The grooved shank design helps reduce fouling and chamber pressure for smoother operation and consistent performance.
Each box contains 50 bullets, specifically loaded for the .338 caliber at 250 grains. Manufactured in the USA by Barnes.

Used this bullet in a .338 rifle for deer hunting. The expansion was consistent and the bullet penetrated deeply without excessive fragmentation. Cleaned the barrel after each use, and the grooved shank helped reduce fouling. Good performance in the field.
Warren Ball –
Felt a noticeable difference in shot consistency compared to previous bullets. The copper construction is clean and doesn’t leave residue. Works well in a heavy game situation. Slightly more expensive, but worth it for reliability.
Warren Sharp –
Excellent for big game hunting. The bullet expanded properly on impact and maintained its weight. No issues with barrel fouling even after multiple shots. Highly recommend for hunters using .338 rifles.
