Federal Premium 243 Winchester 85 grain Barnes TSX ammo delivers a proven lead-free option for hunters and precision shooters who demand performance without compromise. The Barnes Triple-Shock X bullet is an all-copper hollow point engineered for consistency and stopping power, making it a solid choice for medium-game hunting and controlled expansion at hunting distances.
The monolithic copper construction of the TSX is built to retain nearly all of its original weight through impact—a critical factor for deep, reliable penetration. The large-diameter hollow point expands predictably on game while that weight retention means the bullet stays together to drive through heavy bone and muscle. You get the ballistic advantages of a lead-free round without sacrificing the terminal performance hunters expect.
Accuracy matters as much as power, especially at distance. The grooved shank design of the TSX bullet minimizes copper fouling in the barrel, which means cleaner shooting and less accuracy drift as your barrel stays fresher longer. Hand-loaded into Federal Premium cases and matched to 243 Winchester ballistics, this ammunition groups tight and performs consistently from shot to shot.
Each box contains 20 rounds, giving you a practical supply for hunting trips, sighting in, or range days. If you shoot in areas with lead-free ammo mandates or simply prefer non-toxic ammunition, Federal Premium 243 Winchester Barnes TSX is a straightforward, effective answer.

Yes. Federal Premium Barnes TSX is constructed entirely of copper with no lead, making it compliant for hunting in areas with lead-free ammunition requirements.
The 243 Winchester is versatile for medium-sized game. The 85 grain Barnes TSX, with its expanding hollow point and weight retention, is appropriate for deer and similar-sized game at typical hunting ranges.
The grooved design reduces copper fouling buildup in the barrel, which can degrade accuracy over time. Cleaner barrels mean more consistent shooting as you put rounds downrange.
The monolithic copper construction is engineered to retain nearly 100 percent of the bullet's original weight during impact, maximizing penetration and reliable performance on game.
