Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock X (TTSX) 35 Caliber 180 Grain Spitzer Flat Base Bullets - Box of 50

If you're handloading rifle ammunition for .35 caliber hunting rifles, the Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock X (TTSX) 180 grain spitzer delivers the controlled expansion and deep penetration serious hunters expect. These all-copper bullets combine the proven TSX design with a polymer tip to boost ballistic coefficient and initiate expansion, giving you a round that's accurate, reliable, and built to perform in the field.

The TTSX design centers on all-copper construction—no lead core, no fragmentation. That means maximum weight retention through the target and less material breaking away during impact, which translates to better penetration and energy transfer where it counts. Barnes' re-engineered nose cavity works with the polymer tip to deliver faster, more consistent expansion than standard designs, even at moderate velocities. And because these bullets are engineered for controlled expansion rather than explosive performance, you get devastation without the unpredictable behavior that comes with lighter jackets and loose cores.

Reloaders will appreciate the grooved rings cut into the shank—they're not just cosmetic. As the bullet travels down the bore under pressure, those rings act as relief valves, letting copper material expand into the grooves instead of forward or backward. The result: lower pressure development, less copper fouling in your barrel, and the ability to safely push velocity higher than traditional designs allow. Those same rings alter barrel harmonics, which means tighter shot groups and more forgiving load windows.

The flat base design and spitzer profile make the TTSX a proven choice for hunters who want precision, penetration, and a bullet they can trust. This box contains 50 bullets ready to load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What caliber rifles will these .35 caliber TTSX bullets work with?

These are .35 caliber bullets sized for rifles chambered in .35 caliber cartridges. Make sure your rifle's bore diameter matches before loading.

Are TTSX bullets suitable for hunting?

Yes. The TTSX design is purpose-built for hunting, with controlled expansion and deep penetration. The polymer tip and re-engineered nose cavity are optimized for reliable performance on game.

What's included in the box?

The box contains 50 Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock X bullets, ready to size and load into your reloading dies.

Can I load these to higher velocities than standard lead-core bullets?

Yes. The grooved shank design reduces pressure development, allowing you to safely load TTSX bullets to higher velocities than comparable lead-core designs. Always start at published minimums and work up carefully.
