The Barnes TSX 7mm 140gr rifle bullet (brand part no. 30289) is an all-copper, boat-tail projectile built at .284-inch diameter for standard 7mm hunting cartridges. Barnes engineers the TSX with no fragmentation and roughly 28% deeper penetration than a comparable lead-core bullet, while retaining nearly all of its original weight on impact. Multiple precisely engineered rings cut into the bullet’s shank act as relief valves as it travels down the bore, which improves accuracy, reduces chamber pressure for higher-velocity loads, and cuts down on copper fouling. Unlike the Tipped TSX version Barnes also sells in this caliber, this TSX has no polymer tip. It ships 50 to a box.
