Barnes Bullets
Barnes TSX bullets in 6.8mm are a solid choice for handloaders building ammunition for medium-to-large game hunting. The .277" 85-grain flat-base design delivers the controlled expansion and weight retention that have made TSX projectiles a go-to for hunters who demand reliable terminal performance. Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you enough for a serious practice and hunting season without frequent resupply runs.
What sets TSX bullets apart is their all-copper construction and the way they perform on game. Upon impact, they expand in a controlled manner while retaining 100 percent of their original weight—a combination that translates to deep penetration through dense tissue and bone. For reloaders working up loads in 6.8 Remington SPC or similar cartridges, that consistency means more predictable hunting results and fewer wounded animals left behind.
Accuracy in handloaded ammo depends on proper seating depth, and Barnes recommends experimenting with a range of 0.03 to 0.07 inches from the lands based on your specific rifle's chamber and magazine setup. Start on the conservative side and work up carefully. The flat-base profile works well in standard magazines, making these bullets at home in AR platforms and bolt-action rifles alike.
| Caliber | 6.8mm (.277") |
| Weight | 85 grains |
| Style | Flat Base (FB) |
| Construction | 100% Copper |
| Quantity | 50 per box |
| Weight Retention | 100% |
Yes. The .277" diameter and 85-grain weight are appropriate for the 6.8 SPC cartridge. As with any handloading project, you'll need to develop a load specific to your rifle and work up safely from a conservative starting point.
Barnes recommends seating these bullets 0.03 to 0.07 inches from the lands, depending on your individual rifle's chamber dimensions and magazine constraints. Test carefully within that range to find what groups best in your gun.
Yes. TSX bullets are engineered to retain 100 percent of their original weight, which helps ensure deep penetration through bone and tissue without fragmenting.
The 85-grain TSX in .277" is designed for medium-to-large game hunting where controlled expansion and deep penetration are priorities. Performance on any game depends on shot placement, velocity, and bullet construction—all factors you control as a handloader.
