Barnes TTSX 338 Cal .338 225gr (50 per Box)
S96655
- Solid copper, lead-free rifle bullet — .338 calibre, 225 grains, 50 per box for handloaders
- Heaviest standard weight in the .338 TTSX range, for maximum downrange energy
- Polymer tip boosts ballistic coefficient and reliably initiates expansion on impact
- Re-engineered nose cavity drives fast, consistent expansion into four razor-sharp cutting petals
- Grooved shank relieves bore pressure and reduces copper fouling for better accuracy
- Near-100% weight retention for deep, controlled penetration on large, heavy-boned game
- Component bullets only — for handloaders assembling their own .338 calibre cartridges
Barnes TTSX (Tipped Triple-Shock X) is a 100% copper, lead-free rifle bullet built for handloaders wanting reliable expansion and deep, controlled penetration. This .338 calibre bullet weighs 225 grains — the heaviest standard option in the .338 TTSX line, carrying more downrange energy for the biggest game the calibre is used on — and is supplied as a component projectile, 50 to the box, for reloading rather than as loaded ammunition. Construction follows the standard Triple-Shock X: a solid copper shank with a re-engineered hollow nose cavity and four skiving cuts, capped with a polymer tip that boosts ballistic coefficient and reliably starts expansion on impact. The nose peels back into four razor-sharp cutting petals on impact while the shank stays intact, so the bullet typically retains close to its full weight rather than fragmenting — a real advantage when driving deep on large, heavy-boned animals. Grooves cut into the bearing surface act as pressure-relief channels, cutting bore friction, copper fouling and pressure spikes without sacrificing accuracy. This weight suits handloaders shooting .338 Winchester Magnum and similar cartridges at large deer, moose and other heavy big game.
