Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) 338 Caliber 210 Grain HPBT Lead-Free Bullets - Box of 50

Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) 338 caliber 210 grain HPBT bullets are a premium choice for reloaders pursuing medium to large game where shot placement and reliable performance matter. Built from 100 percent copper, these lead-free rifle bullets are engineered for hunters who demand consistent, hard-hitting results in the field. Whether you're handloading for a custom 338 build or refreshing your component stock, TSX bullets deliver the expansion and penetration characteristics that have made them a trusted option across North American hunting country.

The TSX design produces four razor-sharp petals on impact that cut deep through vital areas while the solid copper construction ensures the bullet retains 100 percent of its original weight. This weight retention translates to deeper penetration through bone and dense tissue—critical when your shot needs to anchor a large animal cleanly. The 210 grain weight in 338 caliber sits in a sweet spot for medium to long-range hunting applications, offering a good balance between velocity and energy retention downrange.

Handloaders appreciate TSX bullets for their consistency and straightforward seating characteristics. The manufacturer recommends seating depth between 0.03 to 0.07 inches from the rifling, depending on your individual rifle's chamber and magazine constraints. Start at the middle of that window and work up to find your rifle's preferred load. Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you a solid quantity for load development or regular hunting season prep.
