The Buffalo Bore Buffalo-Barnes .300 Winchester Magnum 180-grain TSX (part no. 55B20) is a hard-hitting big-game load built by Buffalo Bore, a Montana ammunition maker known for pushing bullets harder than standard SAAMI-spec factory loads dare to go. This round pairs the .300 Win Mag’s long-range reach with a Barnes Triple-Shock X bullet, a lead-free copper design engineered to retain nearly all of its weight through deep penetration. It’s a serious choice for elk, moose, and other tough North American game where a bullet that holds together matters more than raw velocity. Hunters who demand consistency from every case will appreciate the attention Buffalo Bore puts into each load.
