Product Overview
The Barnes TTSX represents the pinnacle of lead-free hunting bullet technology. This 180-grain solid copper projectile exits the barrel at 3232 fps with 4175 ft-lbs of energy. The all-copper construction means the bullet retains essentially 100% of its weight during expansion—no lead core to separate, no jacket to shed. What goes in is what drives through to the vital organs.
Barnes designed the TTSX with triple-shock grooves cut into the bullet's bearing surface. These grooves serve multiple purposes: they reduce pressure by decreasing copper-to-bore contact, they minimize fouling, and they act as stress points that help initiate expansion on impact. The polymer tip protects the hollow point during feeding and flight, then drives backward into the bullet cavity to begin the expansion process. The result is a bullet that opens to roughly twice its original diameter while penetrating deeper than any lead-core design.
California hunters must use lead-free ammunition, making the TTSX a necessity rather than a choice. But hunters everywhere choose it for its penetration on tough game. Elk, moose, and brown bear hunters appreciate knowing the bullet will reach vitals regardless of the angle or obstacles in its path. The 0.484 BC maintains velocity at range, and the .300 Weatherby's high velocity ensures the copper bullet opens reliably even at extended distances where impact velocity drops. For maximum penetration or lead-free requirements, this load sets the standard.
- Solid copper construction retains nearly 100% weight for the deepest penetration of any expanding bullet
- Certified lead-free and legal for hunting throughout California and other jurisdictions with lead restrictions
- Triple-shock grooves reduce pressure and fouling while promoting reliable expansion
- The 0.484 BC provides solid long-range performance with manageable wind drift
- High 3232 fps velocity ensures reliable expansion at extended ranges where copper bullets can struggle
- Premium pricing makes the TTSX one of the most expensive factory ammunition options
- Copper bullets expand to smaller diameters than lead-core designs, creating narrower wound channels
- May over-penetrate deer-sized game, exiting with retained energy and momentum
- Requires higher impact velocity for reliable expansion compared to lead-core alternatives
