Barnes TSX Bullets .338 cal .338" 250 gr FB 50/ct

The Barnes TSX Bullets .338 cal .338" 250 gr FB 50/ct represents the gold standard in controlled-expansion rifle ammunition for hunters and long-range precision shooters who demand terminal ballistics that deliver ethical, one-shot performance. Built on decades of field-proven design, these 100 percent solid copper projectiles are engineered for calibers demanding power and consistency—particularly the .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Winchester Magnum, and similar magnum platforms used across North America and internationally. Whether you're stalking elk at distance, engaging dangerous game, or conducting precision rifle training, this 50-round box provides the reliability that separates professional-grade handloads from commercial factory ammunition.

Each 250-grain Barnes TSX bullet features the signature X-design that expands upon impact into four razor-sharp cutting petals, maximizing wound cavity depth and energy transfer while maintaining exceptional penetration through heavy bone and muscle. The monolithic copper construction eliminates jacket/core separation, ensuring consistent performance across varying velocities and distances—a critical advantage when handloading for precision or when environmental regulations restrict lead ammunition. At this bullet weight and composition, you achieve superior ballistic coefficients compared to traditional lead-core alternatives, meaning flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and improved accuracy at extended ranges where .338 magnums excel.

Handloaders and reloading enthusiasts benefit most from this product, as Barnes TSX bullets demand careful case preparation and powder charge validation to achieve optimal velocities and accuracy. These projectiles perform exceptionally in modern magnum rifle platforms with appropriate twist rates (1:10 or faster for .338 caliber) and are compatible with standard reloading dies and equipment. The 50-count box provides sufficient quantity for load development, range testing, and field application, while the proven terminal performance makes it the preferred choice for hunters pursuing game at 300+ yards where premium bullet construction directly correlates to ethical kills.
