The modern serious-hunter and tactical professional needs ammunition that performs reliably against the most unforgiving targets. Hard-hitting penetration, consistent point-of-impact, and the ability to pair with expanding bullets for different missions make the right loadout a force multiplier in the field.

Overview of the load

BARNES VOR-TX SAFARI rounds are factory-loaded with some of the toughest bullets made. These banded solid bullets are weight-matched with TSX expanding bullets of the same caliber so you can swap between solid and expanding loads without changing point of impact. That interchangeability is a practical advantage for guides and hunters who may face both hard bone and soft-tissue targets on the same expedition.

Ballistics and terminal performance

Banded Solids vs TSX expanding bullets

The Banded Solids are designed to stay intact: virtually indestructible, tracking straight and resisting deformation or deflection when encountering heavy bone. In contrast, the TSX expanding bullets from the same Barnes family are engineered to rapidly expand to double diameter for maximum tissue destruction and energy transfer. The strategic weight-matching means you pick the terminal effect you need while maintaining point-of-impact consistency.
