The Barnes TSX (Triple-Shock X) .458-Caliber 500 Grain Flat Base bullet (brand part no. 30622) is an all-copper, lead-free projectile from Barnes, sold 20 to a box for dangerous-game and big-bore rifle handloaders. Barnes cuts multiple precisely engineered rings into the bullet shank that act as relief valves as the bullet travels down the bore, improving accuracy, reducing pressure for higher-velocity loads, and cutting copper fouling. The all-copper build delivers 28 percent deeper penetration than a comparable lead-core bullet with no fragmentation and maximum weight retention on impact.
