The Barnes VOR-TX Safari 500 Nitro Express delivers maximum penetration on dangerous game with its precision-engineered 570-grain banded solid construction. This premium safari ammunition provides consistent performance when stopping power cannot be compromised. Each round features Barnes' proven solid bullet design that maintains trajectory and delivers devastating energy transfer on the world's largest game animals.
What Makes This Different
The banded solid design eliminates the jacket separation issues common with conventional dangerous game ammunition. Unlike traditional soft-point bullets that can fragment on heavy bone, these solid copper rounds maintain their shape and weight retention through the toughest conditions. The precision-machined bands reduce barrel fouling while maintaining consistent pressure curves for reliable feeding and extraction in double rifles and bolt-actions.
