Barnes TSX Bullets, .416 Caliber 400gr Flat Base (Barnes part no. 30532) are Barnes’s Triple-Shock X-Bullets, made from 100 percent copper rather than a lead core. On impact, they expand into four razor-sharp petals with deep cutting capability, giving hunters the kind of one-shot performance that matters when penetrating dense bone and tissue on big game. Because the bullet is solid copper, it retains 100 percent of its original weight after expansion, and Barnes recommends seating it 0.03 to 0.07 inches off the lands depending on the rifle, for best accuracy.
