5.56x45mm Ammo – 20 Rounds of 70 Grain TSX by Barnes

Description

Barnes Bullets 70 Grain TSX Ammo Details

These heavyweight 5.56mm rounds are an excellent way to get the famous performance of Barnes bullets in a full-up format that requires zero reloading or load work up. As VOR-TX rifle rounds, these cartridges are optimized for hunting use and are loaded with the venerable TSX projectile. The TSX is an all-copper bullet with a hollow tip at its nose, multiple grooves on its body, and a boat tail shape at its rear. The boat tail resists drag in flight while the grooves balance the application of gas pressure; both efforts greatly enhance accuracy for those vital shots in the field.

Upon impact with a game deer or wild boar, the bullet will experience instant expansion into four petals which more than doubles the original diameter. This helps create a free-bleeding wound cavity and tumbling which will bring down medium-sized game with humane efficiency. At 70 grains, the 5.56x45mm projectile packs quite a punch but should only be utilized in a barrel with a twist rate of 1:8 or faster for reliable stabilization. Each bullet is loaded into a reloadable brass casing that has a non-corrosive Boxer primer crimped into its base pocket. This extra bit of effort prevents popped primers from causing heinous malfunctions which could send you home early.
