Barnes Bullets Cal. 338 / 8.5mm in 285 Grain TSX BT 30417

Maximum penetration and stability for powerful .338 caliber TSX boat-tail technology with controlled expansion and high retained weight The Barnes TSX BT bullets in caliber .338 / 8.5 mm with 285 Grain (Art.-No. 30417) are designed for applications where maximum deep penetration, highest stability, and absolute reliability are the focus. As a monolithic copper bullet, they are completely lead-free and feature an extremely robust construction with almost complete weight retention. The proven TSX technology with four defined expansion petals ensures uniform, controlled expansion and predictable energy transfer even at high impact energy. The boat-tail base optimizes the ballistic coefficient, reduces air resistance, and supports a stable, consistent trajectory even with very heavy bullets. At 285 Grain, this model belongs to the absolute heavyweight class in the .338 segment and is ideal for powerful calibers like .338 Lapua Magnum or comparable loadings where penetration, impulse transfer, and reliable bullet performance are crucial. Circumferential pressure relief grooves reduce barrel friction, optimize gas pressure, and contribute to clean, reproducible ballistics. Barnes stands for tight manufacturing tolerances and consistently high quality, reflected in constant seating depth, stable point of impact, and high repeat accuracy. CN Jagd & Schießsport offers these Barnes TSX BT 285 Grain bullets as a high-quality premium component for users seeking an uncompromising, lead-free .338 bullet with clear performance orientation and technical precision.
