Barnes Tipped TSX (TTSX) Bullets .22 cal .224" 50 gr TTSXFB 50/ct
$41.24
The Barnes Tipped TSX (TTSX) .22 caliber rifle bullets are purpose-built for handloaders who demand reliable expansion and accuracy in the field. These .224" diameter, 50-grain projectiles combine Barnes' proven copper construction with a polymer tip to deliver consistent ballistic performance and controlled expansion on game.
Built entirely from 100 percent copper, the TTSX design is engineered around four cutting petals that deploy upon impact to increase bullet diameter significantly—a mechanical advantage that translates to more effective energy transfer. The polymer tip serves dual purpose: it boosts ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and more retained energy downrange, while also initiating reliable expansion. This is reloader ammunition for hunters and shooters who handload for .22 caliber rifles and want the consistency of purpose-designed, non-toxic projectiles.
Each box contains 50 bullets. Seating depth influences accuracy with these projectiles; experienced reloaders typically seat them between 0.030 and 0.070 inches off the lands, adjusting for their individual rifle's chamber and barrel characteristics. Finding your rifle's optimal load requires load development, but the payoff is precision and repeatability in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended seating depth for the Barnes Tipped TSX?
Most accurate results are achieved when seating these bullets between 0.030 and 0.070 inches off the lands. Your specific rifle's chamber and barrel will determine the optimal seating depth, so load development and testing is recommended.
Are these bullets suitable for handloading?
Yes. These are component bullets designed for reloaders. You will need to provide your own brass cases, primers, and powder to complete your ammunition.
What makes the polymer tip important?
The polymer tip increases the bullet's ballistic coefficient, which improves flight characteristics and energy retention at distance. It also plays a role in initiating expansion upon impact.
How many bullets are in a box?
Each box contains 50 bullets.
