Barnes TTSX 6.5mm 100 Grain Lead-Free Spitzer Boat Tail Bullets - Box of 50

The Barnes TTSX 6.5mm 100 grain lead-free spitzer boat tail bullets are purpose-built for handloaders who demand terminal performance without compromise. Built entirely from solid copper with no lead core, these projectiles deliver the stopping power hunters expect while eliminating lead from your ammunition. The polymer tip serves dual duty: it boosts ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and initiates reliable expansion on impact, while the re-engineered nose cavity ensures faster expansion and consistent, devastating terminal results.

What sets the TTSX apart in the reloading bench is the precision-engineered ring grooves cut into the bullet shank. These grooves act as relief valves, channeling copper flow into the grooves rather than creating pressure spikes as the bullet travels down the bore. The result is measurably lower pressures, which means you can safely push velocities higher without excessive copper fouling. Those same rings also alter barrel harmonics in ways that improve shot-to-shot consistency—accuracy gains that reloaders and precision shooters actually see at the range.

The TTSX retains significantly more weight than traditional lead-core projectiles, delivering 28% deeper penetration for hunting applications where pass-through performance matters. The all-copper construction eliminates fragmentation, so you get controlled, predictable expansion every time. This bullet has earned its reputation as one of the most accurate hunting rounds available, backed by countless field reports from shooters who've trusted it in the field.

Each box contains 50 bullets ready to reload. The boat tail design optimizes aerodynamics, making these rounds suitable for medium to longer-range shooting where ballistic efficiency counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What caliber rifles will these bullets work in?

These are 6.5mm bullets, designed for rifles chambered in 6.5 calibers such as 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and other 6.5mm cartridges. Always verify your specific cartridge's loading data before reloading.

Are these bullets good for hunting?

Yes. The TTSX is purpose-designed for hunting, with controlled expansion, deep penetration, and excellent weight retention. The polymer tip ensures reliable expansion, and the solid copper construction eliminates fragmentation for predictable terminal performance.

Why do the ring grooves matter for reloading?

The engineered grooves reduce bore pressure and copper fouling by channeling metal flow during acceleration down the barrel. This allows safe loading to higher velocities and improves barrel harmonics, which translates to better accuracy on the range and in the field.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 50 Barnes TTSX 6.5mm 100 grain bullets, ready to reload into your chosen cartridge.
