The Barnes TSX Bullets in .270 caliber, 130 grains (Barnes part no. 30264), are an all-copper Triple-Shock X bullet for handloaders who want deep, controlled penetration on big game without the fragmentation risk of a lead-core bullet. With no lead core to separate from the jacket, the bullet holds together through heavy bone and tissue instead of shedding weight on impact.

Key Specifications

• .270 caliber bullet is sized for .270 Winchester and other .270-caliber rifle cartridges.
• 130-grain weight is a classic mid-weight choice for .270 big-game loads.
• 50 bullets per box gives enough for load development plus a hunting season of ammunition.
• 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.
• 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 delivers almost the full bullet weight into the animal.

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 130-grain weight and deep penetration make it a strong .270 choice for deer-sized and larger North American game.
