Barnes TTSX 22 Cal 55 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail Bullets - Box of 50

The Barnes TTSX 22 Cal 55 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail bullets are a solid choice for reloaders building rifle ammunition where reliable expansion and deep penetration matter. Built from 100 percent copper construction, these projectiles deliver consistent performance across a range of .22 caliber rifles. The spitzer boat tail profile helps the bullet fly true at distance, making these rounds suitable for both target work and hunting applications where precision matters.

What sets the TTSX design apart is the polymer tip, which works in concert with the bullet's geometry to boost ballistic coefficient—the measure of how well a projectile resists wind drift and velocity loss downrange. On impact, the TTSX sheds four sharp petals that expand the diameter by approximately 50 percent, creating the wound channel depth and energy transfer needed for ethical, effective kills. This combination of velocity retention and controlled expansion is why serious reloaders keep these on the bench.

Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you a solid foundation for a reloading session or for developing and testing loads in your specific rifle. Seating depth will vary with your chamber and barrel—Barnes recommends experimenting between 0.030 and 0.070 inches off the lands to find the accuracy sweet spot in your gun. Taking time to work up loads with these bullets will pay off in tighter groups and more predictable performance when it counts.

What rifles can I use these .22 caliber bullets in?

The Barnes TTSX 22 Cal 55 Grain bullets are designed for .22 caliber rifle cartridges. Verify that these bullets are compatible with your specific caliber before reloading—.22 is a broad category that includes different cartridges with different bore and case specifications.

How do I find the right seating depth for my rifle?

Barnes recommends a seating depth range of 0.030 to 0.070 inches off the lands, but the exact depth for best accuracy depends on your individual rifle's chamber and barrel. Careful load workup with test rounds will help you dial in the optimal seating depth for your gun and the specific powders and primers you're using.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting?

Yes—the controlled expansion and penetration characteristics of the TTSX design support hunting applications. The polymer tip and four-petal expansion are built to deliver the energy transfer needed for ethical performance on game.

How many bullets are in each box?

Each box contains 50 bullets, providing a convenient quantity for load development, testing, or a solid reloading session.
