Barnes Tsx Bullets .416 Cal .416" 400 Gr Fb 50/Ct
Barnes TSX bullets in .416 caliber are engineered for hunters pursuing large dangerous game where penetration, reliability, and consistent performance matter most. Built from 100-percent copper construction, these 400-grain flat-base projectiles deliver the controlled expansion and bone-breaking power that separates ethical one-shot kills from wounded animals. The TSX design expands on impact to create four razor-sharp petals that cut deep through dense tissue and bone—critical when your quarry weighs half a ton and has nowhere to hide.
What sets TSX bullets apart is their weight retention. Unlike traditional soft-point or jacketed bullets that fragment or shed material on impact, Barnes TSX rounds retain 100 percent of their original weight, converting that mass into depth of penetration and terminal performance. For .416 caliber handloaders, this means you can count on consistent, predictable expansion across a wide range of velocities—whether you're shooting a bolt gun, an African safari rifle, or a dangerous-game magnum.
Each box contains 50 bullets ready to load. Barnes recommends seating depth between 0.03 and 0.07 inches off the lands, depending on your specific rifle's chamber and magazine length. This range gives you room to fine-tune for both accuracy and reliable feeding. Whether you're preparing for a long-range hunt or filling a magazine for thick brush, TSX .416 bullets have earned their reputation among serious hunters who cannot afford to miss.
