The Barnes VOR-TX 300 RUM ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance with 180-grain Tipped TSX bullets engineered for maximum expansion and weight retention. This premium hunting cartridge combines Barnes' proven all-copper construction with advanced boat tail design for superior long-range accuracy and consistent energy transfer on big game.
What Makes This Different
The Tipped TSX bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion while the solid copper construction retains 99% of its original weight, unlike lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass. This design creates larger wound channels with deeper penetration than conventional ammunition. The boat tail configuration reduces drag and maintains velocity at extended ranges, delivering flatter trajectories than standard flat-base bullets.
Key Features
- 180-grain Tipped TSX all-copper bullets with polymer tip for reliable expansion
- Boat tail design reduces drag coefficient by 15-20% for improved ballistic performance
- Four razor-sharp copper petals create maximum tissue damage and energy transfer
- Lead-free construction eliminates fragmentation and provides 99% weight retention
- Match-grade brass cases with consistent powder charges for tight shot groups
- Optimized for 300 Remington Ultra Magnum chamber specifications
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with muzzle velocities reaching 3,250 feet per second. The combination of high sectional density and controlled expansion makes this cartridge effective on elk, moose, and other large game at ranges exceeding 400 yards. The all-copper construction meets lead-free hunting requirements in California and other restricted areas while maintaining terminal performance in varying weather conditions.
