Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) 30 Caliber 150 Grain HPBT Lead-Free Bullets - Box of 50

Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) 30 caliber 150 grain HPBT lead-free bullets deliver the terminal performance serious reloaders demand for hunting and precision rifle work. Built from 100 percent copper, these projectiles are engineered to expand reliably on impact while shedding four razor-sharp petals that create deep, devastating wound channels. For handloaders pursuing elk, deer, and other big game, the TSX combines bone-penetrating capability with weight retention—the bullet stays together through dense tissue and heavy bone, giving you the reliability that separates a clean harvest from a difficult one.

The lead-free construction makes TSX ammunition legal in areas with environmental restrictions on traditional ammunition, without sacrificing the terminal ballistics hunters expect. Each box contains 50 bullets, ready to load into your preferred cartridge. Barnes recommends seating depth between 0.03 to 0.07 inches from the lands, depending on your rifle's chamber and magazine clearance—a detail that matters if you're chasing accuracy in a precision build or a hunting rifle where every shot counts.

Whether you're a seasoned reloader fine-tuning a load or stepping into handloading for the first time, TSX bullets have earned their place in countless successful hunts. The 150 grain weight in 30 caliber strikes a practical balance for medium to large game at ranges where most hunters operate, delivering the energy and expansion you need without excessive recoil or barrel wear.

TSX bullets are lead-free, making them compliant in areas with lead ammunition restrictions. However, always verify local hunting regulations for your specific state and season, as some regions have additional requirements beyond lead-free certification.

What calibers and rifle types can I reload these bullets for?

These are 30 caliber bullets suitable for any rifle that chambers a .30 cartridge (.308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Magnum, etc.). Seating depth will vary by rifle and cartridge, so work up your load carefully using established reloading data for your specific combination.

How much weight do TSX bullets retain after impact?

Barnes TSX bullets are designed to retain 100 percent of their original weight through expansion and penetration, meaning the bullet stays intact rather than fragmenting or shedding petals during its passage through game.
