Barnes TSX Bullets .505 Gibbs .505" 525 gr FB 20/ct

The Barnes TSX Bullets .505 Gibbs .505" 525 gr FB represent the pinnacle of dangerous-game and large-caliber rifle ammunition for serious hunters and shooters who demand terminal performance on the largest African and North American game. Designed for the .505 Gibbs cartridge, these 525-grain solid copper projectiles deliver the deep penetration and controlled expansion required when hunting cape buffalo, elephant, and other dangerous game where one-shot stops are non-negotiable. Barnes TSX ammunition is the trusted choice of professional hunters and ethical shooters who refuse to compromise on reliability or lethality.

These bullets are engineered from 100 percent copper construction, eliminating lead and delivering superior ballistic consistency across every round. The patented Triple-Shock X design features a hollow cavity that initiates rapid, controlled expansion upon impact, producing four razor-sharp copper petals that cut deep into vital organs while the solid copper shank maintains structural integrity through heavy bone. The flat-point (FB) nose geometry provides maximum tissue destruction and reduces deflection when encountering heavy muscle or bone structure, while the copper composition ensures consistent velocities and minimal barrel fouling—critical factors for hunters taking expensive trips to remote hunting regions.

Reloaders and shooters using .505 Gibbs rifles—such as classic British double rifles and modern magnum bolt actions—will appreciate the 20-round box quantity ideal for hand-loading custom ammunition or stockpiling for remote expeditions where resupply is impossible. The 525-grain weight ensures subsonic to transonic velocities in the .505 Gibbs case while maintaining energy retention at extended ranges, making these bullets suitable for both close-quarters dangerous-game hunting and longer-range shooting where premium bullet construction prevents deflection in unpredictable bone encounters.
