The Barnes VOR-TX 300 WSM ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance with 165-grain Tipped TSX bullets engineered for maximum expansion and weight retention. This premium hunting cartridge combines Barnes' proven all-copper construction with boat tail design for superior accuracy and knockdown power on big game.
What Makes This Different
The Tipped TSX (Triple-Shock X) bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion while the all-copper construction retains 99% of its original weight. Unlike lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, this design creates four razor-sharp petals that penetrate deep and create massive wound channels. The boat tail configuration reduces drag and maintains velocity downrange for flatter trajectories than standard bullets.
