The Barnes VOR-TX 22-250 Remington ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance with its 50-grain TSX (Triple-Shock X) flat base bullet design. This premium hunting cartridge achieves rapid expansion while maintaining nearly 100% weight retention for maximum energy transfer on medium game.
What Makes This Different
The TSX bullet construction features four razor-sharp cutting petals that expand to double the original diameter upon impact. Unlike conventional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the all-copper TSX design retains its weight while creating devastating wound channels. This translates to cleaner kills with shorter tracking distances and superior penetration through bone and tissue.
Key Features
- 50-grain TSX flat base bullet with all-copper construction
- Four-petal expansion design for maximum tissue damage
- Near 100% weight retention prevents bullet fragmentation
- Optimized for 22-250 Remington chamber specifications
- Flat base design enhances accuracy in standard twist rates
- Lead-free construction meets California hunting regulations
- Premium brass cases with consistent powder charges
Field performance demonstrates exceptional accuracy with sub-MOA groups achievable in quality rifles. The 50-grain weight provides optimal velocity in the 22-250 platform while maintaining stability at extended ranges. Hunters report clean pass-throughs on coyotes and prairie dogs with minimal pelt damage, making this load ideal for fur-bearing predators and varmint control applications.
