Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock X (TTSX) 338 Caliber 210 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail Lead-Free Bullets - Box of 50

Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock X (TTSX) bullets in .338 caliber are purpose-built for reloaders pursuing big game with serious terminal performance demands. The 210-grain spitzer boat tail design combines ballistic efficiency with a polymer tip that boosts your ballistic coefficient—helping you maintain velocity and energy downrange without requiring lead in the construction. If you're hand-loading rifle rounds for elk, moose, or other large game and want predictable, controlled expansion with minimal material loss, these lead-free projectiles are engineered to deliver.

The TTSX expands through a four-petal design that increases bullet diameter by approximately 50 percent upon impact, generating a wide wound channel while retaining weight for deep penetration. Because they're solid copper, these bullets perform consistently across a range of velocities and impact angles—a real advantage when conditions vary or when you're taking longer shots where energy transfer is less predictable. Reloaders favor them for the accuracy potential and the confidence that comes with a proven bullet design.

Like any premium component, the TTSX rewards careful hand-loading practices. Seating depth matters: most rifles print best groups when you seat these bullets 0.030 to 0.070 inches off the lands, but your specific rifle will have its preference—that's part of the tuning process. Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you a solid supply for load development and hunting season prep.
