Barnes TSX Bullets .338 Lapua .338" 285 gr BT 50/ct

The Barnes TSX Bullets .338 Lapua Magnum .338" 285 grain Boat Tail round represents premium solid copper ammunition engineered for precision long-range applications where barrier penetration and weight retention are mission-critical. These bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance in tactical and hunting scenarios demanding deep penetration through dense media and heavy bone structure.

Constructed from 100 percent copper, the TSX design features a hollow point cavity that expands upon impact while the solid shank ensures reliable weight retention—maintaining 100 percent of the original mass through the entire wound channel. The boat tail profile optimizes ballistic coefficient, reducing wind drift and maintaining downrange velocity critical for extended-range precision shooting. The 285-grain weight in .338 Lapua caliber delivers substantial energy transfer to target while minimizing velocity loss over distance. Each 50-count box provides consistent ammunition for development, accuracy testing, or field operations.

Operators, precision rifle shooters, and hunters relying on .338 Lapua platforms depend on ammunition that performs reliably across variable conditions and target media. The TSX bullet's copper construction resists fouling buildup in barrel systems while the predictable expansion pattern ensures consistent ballistic performance across temperature ranges and impact velocities. Reloaders value these bullets for their uniform dimensions and repeatable performance in precision handloads. The 285-grain specification delivers effective stopping power for large game and long-range tactical applications where lighter projectiles may lack sufficient sectional density.

Barnes TSX ammunition occupies a distinct position in the premium bullet market—solid copper construction differentiates it from traditional cup-and-core designs, offering shooters who prioritize barrier penetration and weight retention a proven alternative with established field performance data across multiple platforms and use cases.
