Overview
Built for hunters who want a lead-free .22 caliber bullet for demanding game loads, this 70-grain TSX Boat Tail is designed around Barnes’ Triple-Shock construction.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a premium hunting bullet, so the 50-round box may be a higher-cost option for high-volume practice or load development.
- The 70gr TSX Boat Tail configuration is specific to this product, so it may not match every .224" setup or hunting application.
- The design is described as reducing copper fouling, but it still uses a 100% copper construction, which can be a consideration for shooters sensitive to barrel maintenance.
- Performance claims in the description are tied to hunting use; buyers should verify compatibility and intended use before loading.
