Overview

Built for hunters who want a lead-free option in a .35 caliber 225-grain hunting bullet, this Barnes TSX design is intended for demanding game and tough impact conditions. Its all-copper construction and Triple-Shock groove pattern are presented as a way to manage firing pressure while helping reduce copper fouling. The bullet is described as retaining its weight after passing through dense tissue and heavy bone, making it suited to situations where deep penetration is a priority. It comes packaged 50 per box for hunters loading for serious field use.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Lead-free, 100% copper construction may be a fit requirement rather than a universal choice, depending on the rifle and hunting regulations you’re working with.
  • The 225gr weight and flat base design make this a specialized hunting bullet, so it’s important to confirm it matches your intended load and application.
  • The Triple-Shock groove design is intended to reduce firing pressure and copper fouling, but results still depend on the specific rifle and load development.
  • Pack count is 50 bullets per box, which may be more than needed for occasional use but practical for load testing and field preparation.
