Hunting and ethical shot placement demand ammunition that performs predictably at range, transfers energy efficiently, and expands reliably on contact. For hunters and professionals who need a round that delivers rapid terminal performance and maximum weight retention, understanding the construction and behavior of premium bullets is essential.

BARNES VOR-TX RIFLE is precision ammunition loaded with TSX Tipped TSX or TSX FN bullets engineered for doublediameter expansion, maximum weight retention, and exceptional accuracy.

Why the bullet design matters

The TSX tipped construction in this load produces immediate expansion—no other bullet in its class opens as quickly—so energy transfer happens early in the wound channel. The nose is designed to peel back into four sharp-edged copper petals, creating devastating tissue and bone disruption while preserving bullet weight for deep penetration and controlled pass-through when needed. Multiple grooves in the shank lower peak pressure and contribute to consistent barrel harmonics, which improves downrange accuracy.

Terminal performance and ethics

Quick, controlled expansion and high weight retention combine to produce rapid incapacitation on game animals such as whitetail deer, elk, antelope, and boar. The TSX bullet’s behavior—instant expansion with sharp copper petals—maximizes both hydrostatic and mechanical trauma to vital structures, supporting quick, humane kills when paired with proper shot placement.
