Barnes Tipped TAC-TX 120 Grain Boat Tail Lead-Free Bullets - 300 AAC Blackout/300 Whisper (.308 Diameter), Box of 50
Barnes Bullets
The Barnes Tipped TAC-TX is a lead-free, all-copper rifle bullet engineered specifically for the 300 AAC Blackout and 300 Whisper cartridges. These 110-grain .308 diameter bullets solve a real problem: subsonic and near-subsonic rounds from short AR carbine barrels need different internal design than rifle-velocity ammunition to reliably expand and perform at their actual velocities. Barnes redesigned the TAC-TX cavity and added a larger polymer tip to initiate expansion even when muzzle energy drops below what traditional designs require. If you're loading for a 300 BLK or similar low-velocity cartridge, this bullet will deliver the terminal performance that Barnes ammunition shooters expect—without trying to force a high-velocity bullet design into a subsonic application.
All-copper construction means lead-free shooting without compromise. Copper bullets track straighter through intermediate barriers and retain significantly more weight on impact than traditional lead-core projectiles, which matters whether you're hunting, training hard on a range, or working subsonic loads through a suppressor. The cannelure is positioned for proper crimping, giving handloaders a solid seating platform. This is a 50-round box, so you get enough ammunition to develop loads and shoot groups without restocking constantly.
Handloaders working up subsonic loads for 300 BLK uppers or dedicated rifles should pay attention: using a general-purpose Barnes rifle bullet in a cartridge it wasn't designed for will leave performance on the table. The TAC-TX 110-grain is built for this specific velocity window and will give you the expansion and reliability you're paying for when you choose Barnes.

The TAC-TX 110-grain was designed and optimized specifically for the velocity range of 300 AAC Blackout and 300 Whisper. While Barnes makes other 30-caliber TSX and TTSX bullets for higher-velocity cartridges, those have internal cavities designed for different velocity windows and won't provide the same terminal performance if loaded in 300 BLK or similar subsonic applications. Use the right bullet for your cartridge.
Yes. Lead-free all-copper bullets are compatible with suppressed shooting and won't create the same debris concerns inside a suppressor that some lead-core rounds can. They're a natural fit for subsonic 300 BLK setups.
These are bulk bullets designed for handloading. The cannelure is positioned for crimping, allowing you to secure the bullet in the case during the reloading process.
Lead-free all-copper bullets like the TAC-TX eliminate lead exposure at the range and downrange, making them safer for frequent shooters and better for the environment. You don't sacrifice performance—Barnes engineered these bullets to match or exceed lead-core ballistics, and the all-copper design provides superior weight retention and barrier performance.
