Barnes TTSX FB Projectiles

The Barnes TTSX FB (Tipped Triple-Shock X Flat Base) Projectiles combine the legendary performance of the Barnes TSX with the enhanced ballistic performance and expansion characteristics of a polymer tip. Designed for hunters who demand maximum penetration, near-perfect weight retention and reliable expansion, the TTSX has become one of the most trusted premium hunting projectiles in the world.

Built from 100% copper, the TTSX eliminates the possibility of jacket-core separation and routinely achieves weight retention approaching 100%. The addition of a precision-engineered polymer tip improves ballistic performance while also initiating expansion more rapidly than a standard hollow-point TSX, particularly at longer hunting distances.

Like the TSX, the TTSX features Barnes' patented pressure-relief grooves machined into the shank. These grooves reduce bearing surface contact with the bore, lowering pressures, reducing copper fouling and often improving accuracy. The result is a projectile that can be driven at higher velocities while maintaining excellent consistency and terminal performance. (barnesbullets.com)

Upon impact, the polymer tip is driven back into the nose cavity, producing rapid four-petal expansion while maintaining deep penetration. The expanded bullet typically retains nearly all of its original weight, allowing it to penetrate through heavy bone and muscle while creating large wound channels and excellent energy transfer.

The Flat Base (FB) variants are particularly popular among hunters seeking exceptional accuracy at traditional hunting distances, where the flat base design can offer outstanding consistency and precision.
