The Barnes VOR-TX 308 Winchester 150-grain Tipped TSX delivers devastating terminal performance through its all-copper construction and polymer tip design. This premium hunting ammunition combines the proven lethality of Barnes TSX technology with enhanced ballistic coefficients for flatter trajectories and superior accuracy at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the Tipped TSX retains 99% of its original weight while creating massive wound channels through controlled expansion. The polymer tip initiates expansion at lower velocities than traditional TSX bullets while maintaining structural integrity at magnum velocities. This all-copper construction eliminates lead fouling and provides consistent performance across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- All-copper Tipped TSX bullet retains 99% weight for maximum penetration
- Polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficient and initiates reliable expansion
- Four razor-sharp cutting petals create devastating wound channels
- Boat tail design improves long-range accuracy and reduces wind drift
- Lead-free construction meets California and other non-toxic ammunition requirements
- Premium brass cases with consistent powder charges for reliable ignition
- Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and provide smooth feeding
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5 MOA accuracy from quality bolt-action rifles, with the 150-grain weight providing optimal performance on medium to large game animals. The controlled expansion characteristics make this load equally effective for elk hunting in open country and whitetail hunting in dense timber. Temperature stability ensures consistent point of impact from sub-zero mountain hunts to desert conditions.
