The Barnes TSX Bullets in .25 caliber, 100 grains (Barnes part no. 30222), are an all-copper Triple-Shock X bullet built for handloaders who want deep, controlled penetration without the fragmentation a lead-core bullet can suffer on tough game. Because there is no lead core to separate from the jacket, the bullet holds together and drives deeper than a comparable lead-core design, making it a favorite for hunters who need reliable performance on a single well-placed shot.

Key Specifications

• .25 caliber bullet is sized for .25-caliber rifle cartridges.
• 100-grain weight is matched to mid-weight .25-caliber hunting loads.
• 50 bullets per box gives enough for a full load-development session with rounds to spare.
• All-copper monolithic construction eliminates the lead core, so the bullet cannot fragment or shed weight.
• Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient for a flatter, less wind-affected trajectory downrange.
• 28% deeper penetration than lead-core bullets comes from the bullet holding together instead of shedding mass on impact.
• Precisely engineered rings cut into the bullet shank act as relief valves, reducing pressure for higher-velocity loads and cutting copper fouling.
• Four-petal expansion with deep cutting is designed to ensure a clean, one-shot kill on big game.
• Near-100% weight retention means almost the full bullet weight is delivered into the animal instead of being lost to fragments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an all-copper bullet over lead-core? An all-copper TSX bullet cannot fragment or separate from its jacket, so it penetrates deeper and retains more weight than a comparable lead-core bullet.

What is the ideal bullet seating depth? Barnes recommends seating from 0.03 to 0.07 inches, adjusted based on the specific rifle.

What game is this bullet suited for? The deep penetration and near-complete weight retention make it a strong choice for big game hunters who want reliable performance on a single shot.
