Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) 25 Caliber 115 Grain Lead-Free Hollow Point Flat Base Bullets - Box of 50

The Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) in 25 caliber is a premium lead-free rifle bullet built for hunters who demand reliable, deep-penetrating performance on game. Each box contains 50 rounds of 115-grain hollow point bullets with a flat base design, engineered to deliver consistent expansion and terminal performance across a range of hunting distances and conditions. The all-copper construction meets lead-free ammunition mandates in sensitive areas while maintaining the terminal characteristics serious hunters expect.

TSX bullets are known for their controlled expansion mechanics—the hollow point cavity and shank design work together to create sharp, cutting petals on impact that maximize tissue damage and energy transfer. The flat base profile supports accuracy and concentrates weight retention for deep, straight-line penetration through heavy bone and muscle, which matters when you're counting on a one-shot ethical harvest on larger game.

For handloaders working up loads with 25-caliber rifles, these bullets demand respect for proper seating depth; the manufacturer recommends experimenting with off-the-lands distances between 0.03 and 0.07 inches, depending on your individual rifle's chamber, throat, and magazine constraints. Starting conservative and working up your load with chronograph data and careful observation is the smart approach. A box of 50 gives you enough inventory to develop a load, sight in, and hit the field with confidence.
