The Barnes Tipped TSX (TTSX) is a .458 SOCOM, 300-grain boat-tail rifle bullet (Barnes part no. 30642) that starts with the same 100% copper body and multi-ringed shank as the standard TSX, then adds a polymer tip that boosts ballistic coefficient and improves long-range performance. The tip and a re-engineered nose cavity work together to trigger even faster expansion on impact. Barnes builds the TTSX line for complete penetration and virtually 100% weight retention, giving .458 SOCOM shooters a deep-penetrating, dead-right-there option built specifically for the cartridge’s short-barrel, close-to-mid-range niche. Each box holds 50 bullets.
