Barnes Bullets 32248 28Nosler 162Gr Tsx Boat Tail 20 Per Box/10 Case
Barnes Bullets 28Nosler 162-grain TSX Boat Tail ammunition delivers the proven all-copper construction that has defined Barnes' reputation for precision and terminal performance. If you're running a 28Nosler and want bullets engineered for consistent expansion, weight retention, and hard-hitting energy transfer, these rounds are purpose-built for the job. The TSX (Tipped Solid eXpanding) design has been a standard for long-range hunters and precision shooters for good reason—it works across a wide velocity window and holds together where lesser projectiles fragment.
The 162-grain weight in 28Nosler gives you a practical balance: heavy enough to buck wind and carry energy downrange, but not so heavy that you're fighting excessive recoil or velocity loss. The boat-tail profile enhances ballistic coefficient, which matters when you're stretching shots past 300 yards. These bullets are loaded 20 per box, with 10 boxes per case, so you get a full 200-round case to stock for practice, load testing, or the season ahead.
Barnes all-copper bullets are a solid choice if you reload or prefer to buy factory ammunition with premium bullet construction. They're legal in California and other copper-mandate states, and they shed energy reliably in game-sized targets. Whether you're hunting elk at elevation or testing your 28Nosler's accuracy at the range, 162-grain TSX ammunition gives you the ballistic foundation to shoot straight and hit hard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is TSX ammunition and why would I choose it?
TSX (Tipped Solid eXpanding) is Barnes' all-copper bullet design that combines reliable expansion with exceptional weight retention. The copper construction is durable and sheds energy effectively in game and targets, making it a premium choice for hunters and shooters who demand consistent performance across varying velocities and distances.
Is 162 grains the right weight for my 28Nosler?
The 162-grain weight is a practical middle-ground for the 28Nosler, balancing velocity, recoil, and wind-carrying ability. Your 28Nosler's performance will depend on your barrel length, powder, and primers. We recommend chronographing loads and testing accuracy from a stable shooting position to confirm the right combination for your rifle.
How many rounds come in a case?
This product contains 10 boxes of 20 rounds each, totaling 200 rounds per case, so you have a full supply for load development, practice, or field use.
Are these bullets legal in states with copper ammunition mandates?
Yes, Barnes all-copper bullets are compliant with California and other copper-mandate regulations, making them a good option if you hunt in those jurisdictions.
