In testing we have found the TSX, TTSX, and LRX bullets to be very accurate. Handloader Magazine often prints their test results in which Barnes TSX, TTSX, and LRX bullets produce accuracy results that are just as good, if not better than match-grade bullets.

Feb 11, 2021 · Ballistic Coefficient (G1) : 0.350. Lenght (measured) : 1,172″ / 29,77mm. Weight (measured) : 130,16gr (8,43g) Material : Copper. Part # : 30364. Manufacturer : Barnes Bullets, LLC, USA. EXPANSION. Tested by reloading bullets to .308″ Winchester.
To me this proves that going lighter to 110gr or 130gr in a lead-free bullet is needed to replicate your older 150gr traditional 0.308 bullet loads with the TSX bullets tested. The 130gr looks very interesting, with a good blend of penetration and expansion, as well as excellent wound volume.

The TTSX evolved from the TSX, which was preceded by the XLC and the Barnes X bullets. Barnes has been around since 1932 and initially made bullets from soft copper tubing with a lead core. In 1974, Randy and Coni Brooks purchased the company and moved it to American Fork, Utah. While hunting Alaskan brown bears in 1985, Randy started thinking abou...
The 130 grain Barnes .308” TTSX bullet is suitable for a wide range of .30 caliber cartridges from the classic 300 Savage to the popular .308 Winchester and .30-06. It is even good for the various 300 magnums. Barnes loads this bullet in their .308 Winchester Vor-Tx factory ammunitionwith an impressive muzzle velocity of 3125 fps. The Barnes reload...
I have grown quite fond of the MEC Marksman single stage press. An open front design provides great access to the work area. The floating shell holder helps produce good quality ammunition and the leverage provided by this press makes resizing tasks easy. It’s a sturdy, heavy-duty cast iron press capable of handling all normal resizing and bullet s...
For velocity testing, I selected my treasured Springfield 03-A3 rifle, produced by Remington for WWII. The 03-A3 is a modification of the original 1903 rifle with an adjustable aperture sight added to the receiver. Other changes allowed for more rapid production. Although the semi-automatic M-1 Garand was to become the most famous WWII American rif...
I was extremely pleased with the results of our testing! We recorded an average of 3273 fps from the old Springfield! This is significantly faster than any .30-06 load I’ve ever built or fired. Knowing that I could probably shoot Gavin’s scoped Savage 30-06 better than my 03-A3, I used it for the 100 yard accuracy testing. I haven’t shot many Savag...
We found this to be the most accurate mono-metal bullet we’ve tested. It expands well, which is a concern with all copper bullets since they lack the soft lead core which expands so nicely on traditional jacketed bullets. The amount of expansion shown indicates it should perform very well on deer-sized game, perhaps even larger game as well. The pe...
Mar 5, 2014 · The only homogeneous bullet included in this test, the Barnes TTSX was the first of its ilk and may still be the best. Constructed of solid copper, bullets in the X line are renowned for almost 100 percent weight retention.

Jul 19, 2024 · The 150gr TSX penetrated the most at 12.5″, with a wound channel of 4.75″, max width of 1.75″ and 100ml in the medium. To me this proves that going lighter to 110gr or 130gr in a lead-free bullet is needed to replicate your older 150gr traditional 0.308 bullet loads with the TSX bullets tested.
