Barnes TSX (Triple-Shock X) Boat-Tail Bullets in .338 Lapua, 285 grain, (part no. 30417) give long-range hunters and precision shooters an all-copper projectile with a boat-tail base for a flatter trajectory downrange. Made from 100 percent copper rather than a lead core, these bullets expand on impact into four razor-sharp petals with deep cutting capability, punching through dense bone and tissue for a one-shot kill. Barnes designs the TSX line to retain 100 percent of its original weight after expansion.
