Barnes VOR-TX 5.56 NATO 62gr TSX Boat Tail

Barnes VOR-TX 5.56 NATO Ammunition

Barnes VOR-TX represents the pinnacle of factory-loaded rifle ammunition, combining precision manufacturing with the proven performance of Barnes' legendary TSX bullet.

Bullet Design & Performance

The TSX bullet is constructed entirely of copper, eliminating the traditional lead core found in conventional ammunition. This design delivers several critical advantages:

• Double-diameter expansion: The bullet's nose peels back into four sharp-edged copper petals upon impact, creating a wound channel significantly larger than the bullet's original diameter
• Maximum weight retention: Unlike fragmenting bullets, the TSX maintains its structural integrity throughout penetration, ensuring consistent energy transfer
• Instant expansion: The bullet opens on contact without delay, providing immediate tissue destruction
• Reduced pressure: Multiple grooves in the bullet's shank minimize pressure buildup, improving accuracy and extending barrel life

Ballistics & Accuracy

VOR-TX ammunition is handloaded to exacting standards, ensuring consistency from round to round. The 62-grain TSX bullet exits the muzzle at 3,000 feet per second, delivering the velocity needed for reliable expansion at typical engagement distances.

Practical Applications

This ammunition is well-suited for:

• Varmint and predator hunting
• Medium-game hunting
• Tactical and defensive applications
• Target shooting where premium performance matters

Each box contains 20 rounds, with 10 boxes per case for convenient ordering.
