.223 70 gr SDX Barrier/Hunting Barnes Triple Shock X Cosmetic Seconds

SUPERIOR BARRIER PENETRATION AND EXPANSION. OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE FOR SHORTER BARRELED CARBINES.

“Barrier Blind” Performance
This load features the solid copper 70 gr. Barnes TSX bullet. This bullet offers tremendous performance against barriers such as auto glass and sheet metal. As it is solid in construction, there is no jacket to separate from its core, as with traditional bullets. The bullet stays intact after passing through intermediate barriers.

SBR Performance
This load performs particularly well in shorter barreled carbines, because it is designed to expand, not fragment. The expansion threshold for this bullet is approximately 1800 fps. Even fired from very short 10.5″ barreled carbines, this expansion velocity threshold is maintained out past 200 yds.

Hunting Applications
Additionally, this load performs very well as a hunting round on medium sized game such as deer and antelope.

1 in 8″ twist or faster barrels are required to stabilize this bullet.

Velocity: 2800 fps – 20″ Colt 5.56 NATO 1 in 7″ chrome lined
