Barnes VOR-TX Safari 416 Rem Mag 400gr Banded Solid Ammo 20rd

The Barnes VOR-TX Safari 416 Remington Magnum delivers devastating penetration for dangerous game hunting with its 400-grain banded solid construction. This premium safari ammunition combines Barnes' proven bullet technology with consistent powder charges for reliable performance on Africa's largest game animals. Each cartridge features a round nose profile optimized for straight-line penetration through heavy bone and dense muscle tissue.

What Makes This Different

The banded solid bullet design sets this ammunition apart from conventional soft-point safari loads. Barnes engineers the copper-zinc alloy construction to maintain structural integrity while penetrating thick hide, heavy bone, and dense tissue without deformation. The precision-machined bands reduce barrel fouling while maintaining consistent accuracy across extended shooting sessions. This controlled expansion technology delivers 95% weight retention compared to 60-70% for traditional lead-core bullets.

Key Features

• 400-grain banded solid bullet for maximum penetration on dangerous game
• Copper-zinc alloy construction maintains 95% weight retention
• Round nose profile optimized for straight-line tracking through tissue
• Precision-machined bands reduce copper fouling in rifle barrels
• Match-grade powder charges ensure consistent velocities shot-to-shot
• Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion in humid safari conditions
• 20 rounds per box packaging for extended hunting expeditions

Field performance data shows this load achieving 2,400 fps muzzle velocity from 24-inch barrels with consistent 1.5 MOA accuracy at 100 yards. The solid construction excels in scenarios requiring deep penetration - cape buffalo, elephant, and other thick-skinned dangerous game where bullet integrity matters more than expansion. Safari guides consistently choose banded solids for backup shots and brain shots where complete penetration ensures clean, ethical kills.
