Barnes TSX Bullets .45/70 .458" 250 gr FN 20/ct

Barnes TSX Bullets .45/70 .458" 250 grain flat nose bullets are designed for big game hunting and large-frame rifle applications. These bullets deliver controlled expansion and maximum bone-penetrating performance, making them ideal for hunters pursuing elk, moose, bear, and other large species.

Constructed from 100 percent copper with no lead core, these monolithic bullets expand on impact to create four razor-sharp petals while retaining 100 percent of their original weight. This design ensures deep penetration through dense bone and tissue, which is critical for one-shot scenarios. The 250-grain weight in the .458" diameter is specifically engineered for the .45/70 Government cartridge, balancing velocity retention with power delivery.

Hunters using .45/70 rifles, whether lever-action carbines like the Marlin 1895 or modern single-shot platforms, will benefit from the reliable performance of these bullets. The solid copper construction eliminates core-jacket separation, ensuring effective energy transfer on heavily muscled game. The monolithic bullet design tolerates a wider range of impact velocities than traditional cup-and-core designs, making it effective across various hunting distances.
