Barnes TSX Bullets .500 Nitro .509" 570 gr. FB 20/ct

The Barnes TSX Bullets .500 Nitro .509" 570 gr. FB 20/ct represent the pinnacle of premium dangerous game ammunition for large-bore hunting and specialized tactical applications. Designed for hunters and shooters who demand consistent, lethal performance on heavy game, these 100 percent copper projectiles deliver the terminal reliability that distinguishes Barnes from conventional lead-core alternatives. Available in 20 rounds per box, this ammunition is engineered for the discerning rifleman who accepts nothing less than predictable expansion and deep penetration on first contact.

Each Barnes TSX bullet features the trademark Triple-Shock X design, which employs a sophisticated hollow-point geometry that expands into four razor-sharp petals upon impact while maintaining a heavy, solid copper shank for deep bone-breaking penetration. The .509" diameter and 570-grain mass are specifically calibrated for the .500 Nitro Express, a cartridge renowned for extreme stopping power on African elephant and cape buffalo. The all-copper construction eliminates barrel fouling associated with traditional jacketed bullets, extending barrel life and reducing cleaning time—critical advantages in field conditions where maintenance resources are limited. This design philosophy ensures consistent velocity retention and minimal deflection through heavy hide and bone structures.

Professional hunters, dangerous game outfitters, and long-range rifle specialists recognize the Barnes TSX platform as the gold standard for dangerous game cartridges. The .500 Nitro Express demands ammunition that performs under extreme field conditions—from African plains to remote mountain terrain where backup ammunition may be unavailable. These bullets are compatible exclusively with .500 Nitro Express rifles and require careful handloading to manufacturer specifications; users must consult reloading manuals specific to this caliber and the 570-grain weight to achieve optimal velocity and accuracy. The 20-round box provides sufficient supply for hunting expeditions or precision testing without excess inventory.
