The Barnes VOR-TX Safari 416 Rigby delivers devastating terminal performance for dangerous game hunting with its proven 400-grain TSX Flat Base bullet design. This premium safari ammunition combines Barnes' legendary all-copper construction with optimized powder charges for maximum penetration and expansion on Africa's largest game animals.
What Makes This Different
The TSX (Triple-Shock X) bullet features a flat base design that provides superior accuracy in traditional hunting rifles compared to boat-tail alternatives. Barnes' all-copper construction eliminates lead fragmentation while delivering 99% weight retention through bone and tissue. The four razor-sharp cutting petals create massive wound channels while the solid copper shank drives deep for complete pass-through penetration on elephant, buffalo, and other thick-skinned game.
