Product Overview
The Fiocchi Hyperformance .243 Winchester fires an 80-grain Barnes TTSX bullet at 3200 feet per second, delivering 1819 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The TTSX (Tipped Triple-Shock X) adds a polymer tip to Barnes' proven copper design, improving both aerodynamics and expansion initiation. Fiocchi loads this premium bullet at competitive prices, offering lead-free performance without the full premium cost.
The polymer tip gives the TTSX advantages over the standard TSX. It protects the hollow point during feeding, improves the ballistic coefficient to 0.331, and drives back into the bullet on impact to initiate expansion more reliably at lower velocities. The solid copper body still expands into four petals while retaining its full weight. This makes the TTSX more versatile across varying impact distances.
This ammunition works for deer hunters in lead-restricted zones who want Barnes performance at a more accessible price point. The 80-grain weight keeps velocities high for flat trajectories while the copper construction provides adequate penetration on deer-sized game. Hunters who appreciate the TSX's reputation but want the improved BC and expansion initiation of a tipped bullet will find the TTSX delivers. The Fiocchi brass is reloadable for those developing copper bullet handloads.
- Polymer tip improves BC and initiates expansion more reliably than standard TSX hollow point
- Barnes TTSX reputation for near-100% weight retention on tough quartering shots
- Fiocchi pricing makes Barnes copper bullets more accessible than premium domestic loads
- Lead-free construction complies with California and other non-toxic requirements
- 80-grain copper bullet is physically long, potentially affecting magazine capacity and seating
- BC of 0.331 is modest compared to heavier lead-core hunting bullets
- Solid copper construction may cause more barrel fouling than jacketed lead bullets
- Limited distribution compared to Barnes ammunition loaded by major US manufacturers
