Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullets in 22 caliber represent a proven choice for reloaders pursuing smaller game and varmints. Built from 100 percent copper, these 45 grain hollow point rounds deliver the controlled expansion and weight retention that has made the TSX line a standard across the hunting community. Unlike lead-core alternatives, the all-copper construction ensures consistent ballistic performance and compliance where non-toxic ammunition matters.
The TSX design generates four razor-sharp petals on impact, creating a wide wound channel through vital areas. Full weight retention means reliable penetration through bone and dense tissue—critical when precision matters and a clean, ethical kill is the only acceptable outcome. Whether you're working up loads for prairie dogs, foxes, or other small-game applications, these bullets reward careful handloading with predictable terminal performance.
Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you enough volume for a solid testing session or to establish a trusted load for the season. The flat base design offers straightforward seating, though Barnes recommends experimenting with seating depth between 0.03 and 0.07 inches to find the sweet spot in your specific rifle. As with all reloading components, success depends on a disciplined approach to charge weights, primers, and consistent technique—but start with quality bullets like these and you're halfway there.
