• Multiple grooves cut into the shank act as relief valves that reduce pressure, minimize copper fouling, and support higher potential velocities.
• All-copper construction delivers very high weight retention and deep penetration through bone and tissue compared to many traditional jacketed bullets.
• Boat tail base improves aerodynamics, helping the 85 grain TSX maintain velocity and energy for flatter trajectories at extended ranges.
• Precision manufacturing and the grooved shank contribute to excellent accuracy, making this bullet suitable for precise shot placement on game.

• Reduced fouling and stable pressures help you keep accuracy consistent over longer practice sessions and multi-day hunts without frequent deep cleaning.
• The 50 count box provides enough bullets to develop a load, confirm your drop and wind data, and still have a solid supply of proven hunting bullets from the same lot.
• If you run a 6mm hunting rifle and want an all-copper boat tail hunting bullet with dependable field performance, the Barnes TSX 6mm 85 grain Boat Tail (30212) is a practical choice for medium game hunting.
