Product Overview
The Black Hills Gold 140-grain Barnes TSX is for shooters who want a copper bullet with no lead core. The TSX is Barnes' copper hollow point, and it carries no polymer tip. Black Hills loads it to 3,100 fps at the muzzle, with 2,987 ft-lbs of energy.
Compared with Barnes' own VOR-TX 140-grain TTSX, which adds a polymer tip to the same kind of copper bullet, the Black Hills starts at the same 3,100 fps and kicks the same in the same rifle. The choice between those two comes down to tip or no tip. Compared with Federal's 140-grain Trophy Copper, another polymer-tipped copper bullet, the Black Hills starts 50 fps slower and carries 98 ft-lbs less at the muzzle. The Trophy Copper also kicks about 2 percent harder in the same rifle, a difference few shooters will notice.
Buy the Black Hills Gold if you want a copper hollow point without a tip. Pick the VOR-TX 140-grain TTSX if you would rather have the tip at the same speed; Barnes markets it for big game and medium game. Pick the Trophy Copper if you want a tipped copper bullet with a slightly faster start. If a lead core is fine, Federal's Vital-Shok 140-grain Trophy Bonded Tip is a bonded bullet that also starts 50 fps faster. HSM's Trophy Gold 180-grain Berger VLD carries a bullet 40 grains heavier, but it kicks about 50 percent harder.
