BARNES 31140 6.5MM TSX BT 130 GRAIN 50 CNT

Barnes TSX 6.5mm 130 grain boat tail bullets (31140) are all-copper hunting projectiles in .264 diameter designed for modern 6.5mm cartridges that need flat trajectory and deep penetration. This 130 grain TSX BT bullet suits big game hunters who want a lead-free, controlled expansion 6.5mm bullet that carries velocity and energy downrange.

Special Features

• TSX all-copper design uses a deep hollow point and four expanding petals to combine reliable expansion with strong weight retention on game animals.
• Boat tail base reduces drag and helps this 130 grain 6.5mm TSX maintain velocity and energy at extended hunting distances.
• Relief grooves in the shank help reduce barrel fouling and allow safe loading to higher velocities than many conventional jacketed bullets.
• Monolithic copper construction eliminates a lead core, which supports nearly 100 percent weight retention and deep penetration through bone and tissue.
• The .264 diameter 130 grain profile works with a wide range of 6.5mm cartridges that use standard 0.264 inch bullets, including popular long range hunting rounds.

Practical Benefits

• As a component, the Barnes TSX 6.5mm 130 grain BT (31140) lets you build lead-free hunting loads tuned to your specific 6.5mm rifle while using appropriate load data for your cartridge.
• The combination of high ballistic coefficient and solid copper construction makes this bullet well suited for deer, antelope, hogs, and similar game where you want flat trajectory and through-penetration.
• Relief grooves and the smooth TSX design help you maintain accuracy over extended shooting sessions with reduced barrel fouling and stable velocities.
• The 50 count box gives you enough bullets to develop a load, verify dope, and still have a solid supply of proven hunting ammunition components from the same lot.
• If you run a 6.5mm hunting rifle and want a lead-free, boat tail hunting bullet with strong downrange performance, the Barnes TSX 6.5mm 130 grain BT (31140) is a proven platform for serious big game work.
