BARNES 30368 TIPPED TSX 30 CAL 165 GRAIN TTSX BOAT TAIL 50 CNT

Barnes Tipped TSX 30 caliber 165 grain boat tail bullets (30368) are .308 inch, polymer tipped, all-copper hunting projectiles built for modern .30 caliber rifles that need flat trajectory and strong terminal performance. This 165 grain TTSX BT bullet is ideal for hunters who want lead-free, controlled expansion performance in cartridges like 308 Win, 30-06, and 300 Win Mag.

Special Features

• Tipped TSX design adds a polymer tip to the proven TSX body, boosting ballistic coefficient and improving long range trajectory.
• Polymer tip and redesigned nose cavity provide faster initiation of expansion while maintaining four sharp petals that approximately double bullet diameter in tissue.
• Solid copper construction delivers near 100 percent weight retention and deep penetration through bone and vital organs, even at magnum impact velocities.
• Multiple grooves cut into the shank reduce bearing surface, which can lower pressures, minimize fouling, and support excellent accuracy.
• Boat tail base helps this 165 grain 30 caliber TTSX maintain velocity and energy downrange, supporting flatter trajectories and more reliable expansion at extended ranges.

Practical Benefits

• As a component, the Barnes Tipped TSX 30 caliber 165 grain BT (30368) lets you build lead-free hunting loads tuned to your specific rifle and cartridge using appropriate data.
• The blend of strong ballistic coefficient, high sectional density, and solid copper construction makes this bullet well suited for deer, elk, hogs, and similar game where you want both expansion and deep penetration.
• Relief grooves and the TTSX profile help maintain accuracy over extended practice and hunting sessions with reduced copper fouling and very consistent velocities.
• The 50 count box gives you enough bullets to develop a load, verify zero and drop at distance, and still have a solid supply of proven hunting bullets from the same lot.
• If you run a 30 caliber hunting rifle and want a lead-free, polymer tipped boat tail bullet with serious downrange authority, the Barnes Tipped TSX 30 cal 165 grain TTSX BT (30368) is a proven platform for demanding big game hunts.
