Best Uses

The TSX is a hollow point made from solid copper, so it holds weight and drives deep. Zero with this box and confirm where it hits compared to any lead-core load you used before. The 165-grain weight is a good fit for deer and hogs and can handle elk at sensible range. Nickel-plated cases resist tarnish in a wet truck or a damp blind. Federal Barnes TSX 30-06 165 grain is a steady lead-free option for hunters who want a copper bullet without a polymer tip.
