About this bullet

.284 | 170gr | Barnes TTSX BT is a bullet made by Barnes. At 170 gr (11.0 g) and a diameter of 0.284'' (7.21 mm) it suits handloads where bullet weight and barrel length have to be matched carefully. Its G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.503 drives velocity retention and wind drift downrange — higher values mean a flatter trajectory at distance. A twist rate of 1:8.5 is recommended for stable flight; slower twists can under-stabilise this bullet. We currently list 157 load recipes across 27 calibers for this bullet.
