Barnes Bullets 32473 TSX 400Legend Barnes TSX Flat Base 50 Per Box/10 Case

The Barnes Bullets TSX 400 Legend is a purpose-built hunting bullet designed specifically for the 400 Legend cartridge. This flat-base projectile delivers controlled expansion and reliable performance across the effective range of the cartridge, making it an excellent choice for hunters looking to maximize terminal ballistics from this intermediate-power round. Each box contains 50 bullets, with 10 boxes per case for convenient bulk purchasing.

The TSX features a large open-nose design that initiates rapid bullet expansion by allowing fluid to immediately enter the hollow cavity. Combined with its signature six-petal construction, the bullet expands reliably even at subsonic velocities—a key advantage for 400 Legend hunters who often work within moderate distances. This predictable expansion translates to clean, ethical kills across typical hunting scenarios.

One notable design choice: Barnes omitted the TSX grooves on this 400 Legend variant. Why? Because in this specific cartridge, the grooves don't meaningfully affect pressure or accuracy, so there's no practical benefit to including them. It's the kind of thoughtful engineering that separates purpose-built ammunition from generic conversions. Whether you're handloading for whitetail, hog, or medium game, these bullets give you the terminal performance the 400 Legend was engineered to deliver.

Will this bullet expand reliably at hunting distances?

Yes. The large open-nose cavity and six-petal design ensure rapid expansion even at subsonic velocities, making it reliable across typical 400 Legend hunting ranges.

Why are the TSX grooves missing from this bullet?

Barnes intentionally omitted the grooves because they have no meaningful effect on pressure or accuracy in the 400 Legend. It's a design optimization—removing what isn't needed.

What quantities are available?

Bullets come in boxes of 50, sold in case quantities of 10 boxes (500 total bullets per case).
