The Barnes VOR-TX 308 Winchester 168-grain Tipped TSX delivers maximum energy transfer and deep penetration for hunters demanding consistent terminal performance. This premium hunting ammunition combines Barnes' proven all-copper bullet construction with a polymer tip for enhanced ballistic coefficient and rapid expansion.
What Makes This Different
The Tipped TSX (Triple-Shock X) bullet features four razor-sharp cutting petals that expand to nearly twice the original diameter while retaining 99% of its weight. Unlike lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the solid copper construction ensures complete weight retention for maximum penetration. The boat tail design and polymer tip deliver superior long-range accuracy with a ballistic coefficient of .450.
