Design and Terminal Performance

Loaded with Tipped TSX bullets, the BARNES VOR-TX RIFLE round emphasizes doublediameter expansion while maintaining maximum weight retention. The polymer tip promotes uniform expansion and better ballistic coefficient, while the TSX copper construction avoids lead and fragments less, producing a controlled wound channel. Multiple grooves in the bullet shank reduce seating pressure and contribute to repeatable accuracy shot after shot.

How it works on game

On impact the nose peels back into four sharp-edged copper petals designed to destroy tissue, bone, and vital organs, producing rapid incapacitation and a humane kill. That terminal profile is effective on medium and large game species—whitetail deer, elk, antelope, and boar are explicitly within the intended applications—making this a versatile choice for North American hunting scenarios.

Accuracy, Weight Retention, and Field Use

BARNES is a brand known for premium bullet metallurgy, and this load is offered in various models to match different platforms and preferences. With the grooves in the shank reducing chamber pressure variance and the tipped TSX promoting consistent expansion, shooters report tight groups and reliable on-target performance at typical hunting distances. At a recommended retail of $52.99 per box, it sits in the premium tier for rifle ammo and reflects the advanced bullet construction and field-proven terminal effects.

For best results choose a rifle and zero consistent with your typical engagement range, and practice with the specific load to understand drop and wind drift. When selecting a cartridge variant, match bullet weight and sectional density to the game you pursue for optimal penetration and expansion balance. View product details and pricing
