Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) 7mm 175 Grain Hollow Point Flat Base Lead-Free Bullets - Box of 50

Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) 7mm 175 grain hollow point bullets are engineered for hunters who demand one-shot stops on big game. Built from 100 percent copper and lead-free, these rifle bullets deliver the kind of terminal performance that separates a successful hunt from a wounded animal. The TSX design has earned a reputation for controlled expansion and deep penetration through dense bone and tissue—exactly what you need when stalking elk, moose, or other large game where margin for error is zero.

The signature feature here is TSX's four-petal hollow point design, which expands on impact while the copper construction ensures nearly zero bullet fragmentation. That means energy transfer where it counts and weight retention that borders on perfect—critical factors when your shot has to count. The flat-base profile provides the aerodynamic consistency serious reloaders demand, and Barnes' recommendation of 0.03 to 0.07 inches of bullet seating jump gives you a tuning range to find what your rifle prefers.

If you're handloading for a 7mm rifle—whether a 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm-08, or similar—these 175-grain projectiles fill the role of a heavy, premium hunting round that tracks straight and hits hard. Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you enough for serious load development and a full season afield. Lead-free construction means you can hunt in California and other lead-restricted zones without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these bullets legal for hunting in California and lead-restriction states?

Yes. Barnes TSX bullets are 100 percent copper and lead-free, which complies with California's ammunition restrictions and similar lead-ban regulations in other states.

What rifles and cartridges can use 7mm 175 grain TSX bullets?

The 175-grain TSX is suitable for 7mm rifle cartridges such as the 7mm Remington Magnum, 7mm Weatherby Magnum, 7mm-08 Remington, and other 7mm centerfire rounds. Always verify bullet diameter and weight compatibility with your specific rifle and load data before assembly.

What is the best bullet seating depth for accuracy?

Barnes recommends seating TSX bullets 0.03 to 0.07 inches off the lands of your rifle. The exact depth will vary depending on your individual rifle's chamber, so load development and chronograph testing will help you find the optimal seating distance for your gun.

Will these bullets fragment or shed weight on impact?

No. TSX bullets are designed to retain essentially 100 percent of their original weight upon impact. The four-petal design expands while maintaining structural integrity, delivering deep penetration and reliable energy transfer without fragmentation.
