The Barnes VOR-TX 270 WSM delivers exceptional terminal performance with its 140-grain Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullet design. This premium hunting ammunition combines Barnes' proven all-copper construction with boat tail ballistics for superior accuracy and devastating expansion on game animals.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the TSX features 100% copper construction with four razor-sharp cutting petals that expand to double diameter upon impact. The bullet retains 99% of its original weight while creating massive wound channels through vital organs. This design eliminates lead fragmentation concerns while delivering deeper penetration than conventional hunting rounds.
