Barnes Tipped TSX (TTSX) Bullets .22 cal .224" 55 gr TTSXBT 50/ct

Barnes Tipped TSX (TTSX) Bullets in .22 caliber, .224" diameter, 55 grain deliver precision performance for varmint and small game hunting where terminal velocity and reliable expansion matter. The polymer tip design increases ballistic coefficient, extending effective range while maintaining velocity downrange—critical for shooters working at distance where wind drift and bullet drop demand superior ballistic performance.

Upon impact, the TTSX design initiates rapid, controlled expansion through four razor-sharp petals that increase diameter by approximately 50 percent. This controlled expansion transfers energy efficiently while maintaining weight retention—a key design principle for consistent performance across varying target distances and game sizes. The 55-grain weight in .224" diameter is optimized for the .223 Remington and .22-250 platforms, offering the velocity required for deep penetration combined with predictable expansion behavior. Barnes ammunition uses a proprietary bonding process that holds the copper jacket and lead core together throughout expansion, preventing jacket/core separation that compromises terminal performance.

These rounds suit precision varmint hunters, predator control operators, and rifle shooters who reload or purchase factory ammunition for .223 Remington or .22-250 Remington rifles. The 50-count box supports both range training schedules and field use without excessive inventory for occasional hunters. Barnes Tipped TSX ammunition represents a premium ammunition choice where terminal performance and shot-placement reliability are non-negotiable.

Reloaders also stock individual TTSX bullets (sold separately from factory ammunition) for handload development, offering control over velocity and shot-to-shot consistency within individual firearms. Whether loaded commercially or handloaded, the TTSX platform is recognized across the hunting and precision rifle community for consistent, repeatable terminal performance—the core requirement for ethical, effective field shooting.
