Why Professional Hunters Choose Barnes TSX™ Technology

The Tipped TSX™ bullet represents a revolutionary advancement in hunting bullet design. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the monolithic copper construction retains virtually 100% of its original weight while unfolding into four razor-sharp petals that create massive wound channels. The polymer tip serves dual purposes – enhancing ballistic efficiency during flight while initiating immediate, controlled expansion upon impact. This combination of features makes the 180-grain Tipped TSX™ particularly effective on heavy-bodied game like elk, moose, and bear, where deep penetration and maximum energy transfer are critical for quick, humane kills.

The Ultimate Choice for Discerning Hunters

For hunters who refuse to compromise on performance, the Barnes VOR-TX® Tipped TSX™ series offers distinct advantages that set it apart from conventional ammunition. The lead-free construction not only meets stringent environmental regulations but actually outperforms traditional bullets in terms of weight retention and penetration. The consistent accuracy makes these rounds equally effective for precision target shooting as for hunting applications. Whether you’re preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime trophy hunt or simply demand the best performance from your .30-06 rifle, these bullets deliver unmatched reliability when it matters most.
