Overview
Built for hunters loading .338 caliber rifles, this 210-grain TSX boat tail bullet is designed for demanding big-game applications where deep penetration is a priority. Its lead-free, 100% copper construction and Triple-Shock ring design are intended to manage firing pressure while helping reduce copper fouling.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Lead-free, 100% copper construction may be a deliberate choice for hunters who want to avoid traditional lead-core bullets, but it may not suit every preference or loading setup.
- The Triple-Shock ring design is intended to reduce firing pressure and copper fouling, yet it is still a specialized bullet that should be matched carefully to the rifle and intended use.
- At 210 grains in .338 caliber, this is a heavier hunting bullet, so it is best considered for applications where that weight and bullet style are appropriate.
- Pack count is 50 per box, which may be more than needed for occasional use but practical for shooters who want to stock the same load consistently.
