Product Overview

Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullets in 25 caliber, 100 grain HPBT are engineered for reloaders who demand reliable, hard-hitting rifle rounds. Constructed from 100 percent copper and lead-free, these projectiles are designed for hunters pursuing medium to larger game where controlled expansion and deep penetration matter. The TSX bullet has built a reputation for consistent performance in the field, making it a dependable choice for hand loaders who want to build ammunition they can trust.

The TSX design produces four razor-sharp petals upon impact, creating a wide wound channel through vital organs and dense tissue. Weight retention is a critical feature for any hunting bullet—Barnes engineered the TSX to retain its full original weight through bone and tissue, translating to deeper, more predictable penetration. This is the ballistic behavior that separates one-shot kills from follow-up shots, and it's why the TSX remains a favorite among serious reloaders and hunters who refuse to compromise on terminal performance.

Each box contains 50 projectiles ready for your reloading bench. For best accuracy, the manufacturer recommends seating these bullets 0.03 to 0.07 inches from the lands, though individual rifles will have their own preferences. Taking the time to work up a load tailored to your specific rifle will unlock the full potential of these bullets and your firearm.
