Barnes Tsx Bullets .416 Cal .416" 300 Gr Fb 50/Ct

The Barnes TSX .416 caliber rifle bullet is a 300-grain solid copper round designed for reloaders pursuing dangerous game and other large, tough animals. Built entirely from copper rather than traditional lead-core construction, TSX bullets are engineered to deliver consistent, deep penetration and controlled expansion that stops short of over-fragmentation—critical performance on thick-boned, thick-skinned quarry where a complete pass-through matters less than a methodical, lethal wound channel.

What sets the TSX apart is its four-petal expansion geometry. Upon impact, the bullet's nose petals separate to create four razor-edged cutting surfaces that drive through muscle, bone, and vitals with predictable, reliable energy transfer. Critically, Barnes TSX bullets are engineered to retain 100 percent of their original weight throughout the expansion process, meaning no fragmentation or loss of mass that would compromise penetration or terminal effect downrange. For the reloader chasing one-shot reliability on dangerous game, that weight retention is the difference between a clean kill and a problem.

These are live, ready-to-load projectiles. Each box contains 50 bullets. Seating depth will vary rifle to rifle; Barnes recommends starting at 0.03 to 0.07 inches off the lands and working toward the load that produces the best accuracy in your specific rifle. If you're handloading ammunition for a .416 caliber rifle and demand a bullet that will perform on the toughest game, the TSX is worth the investment in load development and range time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Barnes TSX bullet made from?

The TSX is a solid copper projectile with no lead core. The entire bullet is copper, which contributes to its durability, weight retention, and reliable deep penetration on heavy game.

Will this bullet lose weight during expansion?

No. Barnes TSX bullets are engineered to retain 100 percent of their original weight after expansion. There is no fragmentation or core/jacket separation, which means consistent penetration and energy delivery.

What caliber rifle does this bullet fit?

This is a .416 caliber bullet (.416 inch diameter), designed for rifles chambered in .416 Remington Magnum, .416 Rigby, .416 Weatherby Magnum, and other .416-bore cartridges. Confirm your rifle's bore diameter before loading.

How deep should I seat these bullets in my cartridge?

Start seating between 0.03 and 0.07 inches off the lands (the distance from the bolt face to the rifling), then work toward the seating depth that produces the best accuracy in your specific rifle. The exact depth varies by chamber.
