Barnes TTSX
This ordnance gelatin block, shot with a 180-gr. TTSX from a .30-'06 Sprg. at 100 yards, is representative of performance from Barnes all-copper projectiles – deep penetration, excellent expansion, and maximum tissue/organ disruption.

Rapid Expansion
Barnes' TSX and TTSX bullets expand rapidly upon impact – such as seen here from a .30-cal., 180-gr. TTSX.

Hitting the Gel
With its higher velocity, and therefore wider expansion diameter, the 180-gr. TTSX from the .300 Rem. Ultra Mag. at 100 yards created additional damage to the ordnance gelatin block (bottom). For comparison, the top block was shot with same bullet from a .30-'06 Sprg. (top).

Expansion
The expanded 180-gr. TTSX at left impacted ordnance gelatin at 3,003 f.p.s., while the TTSX at right struck its target at 2,526 f.p.s. – both exhibited perfect expansion and weight retention.

An Ideal Place
The landscape outside of Douglas, Wyo., varies greatly, and can offer some long shot opportunities – an ideal place to use the TTSX.

This year has already seen some big changes in the firearm industry. They don’t quite reach the tectonic shift in 2020, when legendary firms owned by Remington Outdoor were auctioned off, but there have still been some notable shifts within the industry in 2025.
Join American Rifleman staff in this video to get a close look at a single-shot rifle design oriented toward today’s modern hunter, particularly those in states where straight-wall cartridges have been legalized for hunting.
