Commonly referred to as Barnes X bullets, this line of ammo comes in most rifle calibers, and the bullet is quite unique in that it uses a fairly thin diameter hollow section in the tip compared to similar styles.

This means you will get better weight retention and deeper penetration than with other bullets that will fragment to a much greater degree than the solid copper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Circumferential Grooves:<\/strong>\u00a0These grooves are what make the copper bullets from Barnes perform so well in regards to barrel fouling. They are the product of years of research to keep copper as a viable bullet material.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thin-Diameter Hollow Point:<\/strong>\u00a0The hollow point in the Triple-Shock X is narrow compared to similar brands, but with the copper bullet, it works just right. Each shot will expand into four razor sharp cutting edges on impact, unless a hard object like bone is encountered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Triple-Shock X Uses<\/h2>\n<p>This is a great rifle ammunition developed for hunting.

If it can be hunted, Barnes makes a Triple-Shock bullet for the job.<\/p>\n<p>This wouldn\u2019t be a very good home defense ammunition, however, unless you had significant distance between you and would-be attackers. These bullets were designed to travel long distances with relatively flat trajectories and to devastate their target on impact.<\/p>\n<p>The Triple-Shock X is one of the more premium ammo lines by this particular manufacturer, and if you\u2019re looking for a lead-free alternative hunting ammunition, this is a very popular choice with great reviews.
