Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the TTSX bullet different from the standard TSX?
The Tipped TSX (TTSX) features a polymer tip inserted into the hollow nose cavity of the standard TSX bullet. This tip serves two key purposes: it initiates expansion more rapidly and consistently — especially at longer ranges where velocity has dropped — and it also improves the bullet's ballistic coefficient for a flatter, more predictable trajectory compared to the open-tipped TSX.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting in California?
Yes. Barnes VOR-TX .308 Win 168 gr. TTSX is 100% lead-free, constructed entirely from copper. It fully complies with California's Lead-Free Ammunition regulations (AB 711), making it legal for hunting anywhere in California where centerfire rifle ammunition is permitted. This is one of the top factory-loaded choices for California hunters who need certified non-lead performance.
What game is the .308 Win 168 gr. TTSX best suited for?
This load is optimized for medium to large big game, including whitetail and mule deer, pronghorn, black bear, feral hogs, and elk at moderate ranges. The 168 gr. TTSX delivers excellent penetration and near-complete weight retention, making it effective on tough-structured animals. Its match-grade accuracy also makes it a strong performer for precision shooting applications where lead-free bullets are required.
