Barnes TAC-TX BT Projectiles

The Barnes TAC-TX Boat Tail Projectiles are purpose-built hunting bullets engineered specifically for modern sporting cartridges, including popular platforms such as the .300 Blackout, .308 Winchester, .30-30 Winchester and various straight-wall hunting cartridges. Combining Barnes' renowned all-copper construction with a polymer tip and streamlined boat-tail profile, the TAC-TX delivers rapid expansion, deep penetration and exceptional weight retention across a broad range of impact velocities.

Constructed from 100% copper, the TAC-TX eliminates jacket-core separation and retains virtually all of its original weight after impact. The large polymer tip initiates expansion quickly, even at lower velocities, making the TAC-TX particularly effective in cartridges such as the .300 Blackout where reliable terminal performance at modest impact speeds is essential.

Unlike many traditional hunting bullets, the TAC-TX was designed to provide rapid expansion while still maintaining the penetration advantages of a monolithic projectile. Upon impact, the bullet expands into four sharp petals, creating a large wound channel while continuing to drive deeply through tissue and bone.

The boat-tail profile improves ballistic performance by reducing drag and helping retain velocity and energy downrange. Combined with Barnes' patented pressure-relief grooves, the TAC-TX delivers excellent accuracy, reduced fouling and consistent performance across a wide range of hunting applications.

Whether hunting pigs, deer, goats or other medium-sized game, the TAC-TX offers dependable terminal performance and outstanding reliability.
