The Barnes VOR-TX Safari 470 Nitro Express delivers devastating terminal performance for dangerous game hunting with proven TSX bullet technology. This premium safari ammunition combines the stopping power of a 500-grain Triple-Shock X bullet with the reliability demanded by professional hunters facing Africa's most dangerous animals.

What Makes This Different

Unlike conventional lead-core bullets that can fragment or fail to penetrate, the Barnes TSX features an all-copper construction with four razor-sharp petals that expand to nearly twice the original diameter. The flat base design ensures consistent accuracy while maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle. Independent ballistics testing shows 99% weight retention and penetration depths exceeding 36 inches in ballistic gelatin.
