Barnes Tipped TAC-TX 120 Grain Boat Tail Lead-Free Bullets - 300 AAC Blackout/300 Whisper (.308 Diameter), Box of 50

The Barnes Tipped TAC-TX 120 Grain boat tail is a lead-free rifle bullet engineered for the 300 AAC Blackout and 300 Whisper cartridges. Built from solid copper throughout, these .308-diameter rounds deliver the precision and reliability that reloaders demand, whether you're working up subsonic loads for suppressed guns or pushing supersonic velocities for hunting and tactical applications. Barnes has spent decades perfecting all-copper bullet construction, and the TAC-TX line carries that legacy into demanding real-world scenarios.

What sets TAC-TX bullets apart is their design for controlled expansion across a wide velocity window. The tipped design initiates expansion reliably, while the dual-diameter profile manages that expansion in a way that maximizes energy transfer while maintaining structural integrity. That means better performance on game at typical black rifle distances—close quarters or extended range—and superior barrier penetration compared to traditional lead-core rounds. For reloaders who care about consistency and terminal performance, the all-copper construction also means zero lead exposure and environmentally responsible ammunition.

Each box contains 50 bullets sized for standard .308-diameter applications in 300 Blackout and 300 Whisper chambers. If you're building subsonic hog or coyote loads, experimenting with suppressed hunting rounds, or stocking match-grade ammo for your precision AR platform, these bullets reward careful handloading with straightforward flight and predictable impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these bullets compatible with 300 Blackout subsonic loads?

Yes. The TAC-TX design performs across a broad velocity window, making it suitable for both subsonic and supersonic 300 Blackout loads. Many shooters rely on them for suppressed hunting and precision work where subsonic velocities are preferred.

What's the difference between TAC-TX and other lead-free rifle bullets?

TAC-TX bullets are engineered for controlled, double-diameter expansion and superior barrier penetration. The tipped design initiates expansion reliably, while the boat tail improves ballistic efficiency and accuracy. All-copper construction ensures better weight retention than traditional lead-core projectiles.

Will these work in my 300 Whisper?

The 300 Whisper and 300 AAC Blackout share the same .308-diameter bore, so yes—these bullets are compatible with both cartridges. The 120-grain weight is well-suited to the performance envelope of both rounds.

Are these suitable for hunting?

Barnes TAC-TX bullets are designed for hunting applications where controlled expansion and reliable penetration matter. Their performance across close-range and extended-distance scenarios makes them a solid choice for game where the cartridge and bullet weight are appropriate.
