The Barnes TSX .338 caliber 185-grain boat tail (BT) bullets are precision-engineered solid-copper projectiles sold in boxes of 50. TSX construction uses a single-piece copper alloy designed to produce consistent, controlled expansion while retaining the majority of the bullet’s original mass. These bullets are intended for hunting and precision shooting applications where predictable terminal performance and high weight retention are valued. The manufacturer notes that best accuracy is often achieved with seating depths between 0.03 and 0.07 inches, depending on the rifle.
