Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) 22 Caliber 62 Grain HPBT Lead-Free Bullets - Box of 50

Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) 22 caliber bullets deliver the controlled expansion and weight retention serious handloaders demand for varmint and small-game applications. These 62-grain hollow-point boat-tail rounds are engineered from 100% copper construction, eliminating the lead content that makes traditional bullets unsuitable for certain ranges and regulations. Whether you're loading for a precision .22 centerfire or stocking your reloading bench, TSX rounds offer the terminal performance that defines Barnes' reputation in the hunting and shooting community.

The signature design expands on impact to create four sharp-edged petals that cut deep while the solid copper core retains 100% of its original weight through bone and tissue. That weight retention means more consistent penetration and energy delivery downrange—critical for ethical, one-shot kills on game. The hollow-point boat-tail profile supports both accuracy and ballistic efficiency, making these rounds suitable for hunters who want reliable, lead-free ammunition that functions in any hunting situation or range environment.

Reloaders appreciate TSX bullets for their consistency and the flexibility they offer when seating depth matters. The manufacturer recommends experimenting with seating from 0.03" to 0.07" off the lands depending on your rifle's magazine and throat geometry—a tight range that rewards careful load development but pays off in accuracy. Each box contains 50 rounds, giving you enough volume to develop a solid hunting load or practice your reloading technique.
