The Barnes TSX .500 Nitro Express 570gr Bullets (Barnes part no. 30692) are 570gr .500 Nitro Express projectiles from Barnes’ TSX line. TSX (Triple-Shock X) is an all-copper bullet with multiple precision-cut rings on the shank that act as pressure relief valves, cutting fouling and pressure while delivering roughly 28% deeper penetration than a lead-core bullet of the same weight. Each box holds 20 bullets, enough .500 Nitro Express projectiles to develop and confirm a load before a production run. It’s a good fit for hunters who want a lead-free, deep-penetrating bullet with maximum weight retention.

Frequently Asked Questions
