The Barnes VOR-TX 44 Rem Mag ammunition delivers maximum terminal performance with its solid copper XPB bullet design. This premium hunting cartridge expands to nearly twice its original diameter while retaining 99% of its weight for deep penetration on large game.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment and lose mass, the Barnes XPB bullet maintains structural integrity throughout penetration. The solid copper construction eliminates lead fouling in your barrel while providing consistent expansion from 1,200 fps to over 2,000 fps. Independent ballistic testing shows 20-30% deeper penetration compared to conventional hollow points in the same weight class.

Field performance data shows this cartridge maintains accuracy within 2 MOA at 100 yards from quality firearms.
