Powerhead II (Barnes Tipped TSX®) is a Non-Toxic all Copper polymer tipped hunting bullet. The polymer tip and a re-engineered nose cavity provide even faster expansion than the original TSX. The addition of the polymer tip initiates rapid expansion and improves ballistics at extended distances for long range hunting.
The Sako Powerhead II (Barnes Tipped Triple Shok) has a polymer tip and a re-engineered nose cavity to provide an even faster expansion when compared to the original Powerhead (TSX®). The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion and improves ballistics at longer distances making it a versatile non-lead bullet at different ranges.
With all the benefits of the TSX, these bullets have a polymer tip that boosts B.C. and initiates expansion. The re-engineered nose cavity provides faster expansion and devastating terminal performance.
Barnes’ TSX Bullet offers all the deadly effectiveness of the time-proven X Bullet. Features include all-copper construction, no fragmentation, rapid expansion, 28% deeper penetration than lead-core bullets, and maximum weight retention. The TSX has proven to be one of the most accurate hunting bullets available–a fact countless shooters have confirmed. An exclusive feature of the TSX Bullet is multiple, precisely engineered rings cut into the bullet shank. These grooved rings act as relief valves as bullet metal flows under pressure while traveling down the bore. Instead of flowing from the front to the base of the bullet, the copper material expands into the grooves. This results in reduced pressures and less copper fouling. Reduced pressures mean the bullet can be safely loaded to higher velocities. The rings also alter barrel harmonics, greatly improving accuracy. Because of multiple grooves machined into the shanks of TTSX bullets, less bullet area comes in contact with the bore. This reduces pressures and virtually eliminates copper fouling.
