Barnes 30242 Tipped TSX .264 120 Grain Boat Tail

Barnes Tipped TSX Bullets: Precision and Power Redefined

When it comes to the art of precision shooting, few names resonate with authority like Barnes. The Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullet stands as a testament to their commitment to excellence in ammunition design. Engineered for those who demand superior performance from their projectiles, this .264 diameter 6.5mm bullet is crafted with meticulous attention to detail.

The hallmark of the Tipped TSX is its construction—100 percent copper throughout, ensuring not only compliance with California's non-lead regulations but also delivering unmatched integrity upon impact. At the core of its design lies a polymer tip that significantly enhances ballistic efficiency, enabling improved long-range accuracy and rapid expansion on contact.

This particular model weighs in at 120 grains and features a ballistic tip boat tail configuration. Such engineering ensures that once fired, these bullets maintain stability over extended distances while minimizing drag—a crucial factor when engaging targets at range.

A distinctive feature of the Barnes Tipped TSX is its ability to expand dramatically upon impact due to four razor-sharp petals that effectively double the original diameter of the bullet. This results in what can be described as "dead right there" stopping power—a critical consideration for hunters targeting large game where ethical one-shot kills are paramount.

For optimal accuracy, Barnes advises seating these bullets initially 0.050 inches off your rifle’s lands, adjusting between 0.030 and 0.070 inches based on individual firearm characteristics for best results during reloading processes.

Please note: These are components designed for handloading enthusiasts seeking unrivaled performance; they do not come as loaded ammunition ready for firing out-of-the-box.
