The Barnes Tipped TSX (TTSX) .22 Caliber 50gr rifle bullet (brand part no. 30185) is a .224-inch, flat-base, all-copper projectile built for shooters who want serious knockdown power in a .22-caliber platform. Barnes adds a polymer tip that raises ballistic coefficient for flatter, more efficient long-range trajectories while also triggering fast expansion the moment it hits. On impact, four razor-sharp petals open to roughly 50% greater diameter than the bullet’s original size, and Barnes recommends seating depths of about 0.030 to 0.070 inch off the lands for best accuracy, depending on the rifle. It ships 50 to a box.
