The Barnes TSX (Triple-Shock X) .30 Caliber 150gr Boat Tail bullet is an all-copper hunting component bullet from Barnes (brand part no. 30347) built for deep penetration and maximum weight retention without fragmentation. Multiple precisely engineered rings cut into the bullet shank act as relief valves as the bullet travels down the bore, improving accuracy, reducing pressures for higher-velocity loads, and cutting copper fouling compared to a traditionally shanked monolithic bullet.

Key Specifications

• This bullet is sized to .30 Caliber (.308 inches), standard for popular .30-caliber rifle cartridges.
• At 150 grains, it’s built for flat-shooting, high-velocity hunting loads.
• Bullets ship 50 to a box, enough for a full load-development cycle.
• This bullet uses all-copper construction with no lead core, eliminating fragmentation.
• Barnes reports 28 percent deeper penetration than comparable lead-core bullets.
• Precisely engineered shank rings act as pressure relief valves, reducing bore pressure and fouling.
• The boat-tail base improves ballistic efficiency for a flatter downrange trajectory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an all-copper bullet like the TSX? It eliminates fragmentation and delivers maximum weight retention, along with about 28 percent deeper penetration than a comparable lead-core bullet.

What do the rings on the bullet shank do? They act as pressure relief valves as the bullet travels down the bore, which improves accuracy, allows higher-velocity loads, and reduces copper fouling.
