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.
