Barnes VOR-TX Safari 416 Rigby 400gr Banded Solid Ammo 20rds

The Barnes VOR-TX Safari 416 Rigby delivers maximum penetration and straight-line tracking for dangerous game hunting. This premium ammunition features 400-grain round nose banded solid bullets engineered specifically for Africa's largest and most challenging animals. Each cartridge provides the deep penetration required when shot placement and bullet performance mean the difference between success and survival.

What Makes This Different

Unlike conventional cup-and-core bullets that can fragment on heavy bone, Barnes Banded Solid bullets maintain their weight and structural integrity through the toughest encounters. The proprietary copper-zinc alloy construction delivers 100% weight retention while the precision-engineered bands reduce barrel fouling by up to 50% compared to standard solids. Independent testing shows consistent 4+ feet of penetration in ballistic gelatin, significantly outperforming lead-core alternatives in similar weight classes.

Key Features

• 400-grain round nose banded solid bullet for maximum penetration

Field performance data from professional hunters and guides consistently shows straight-line wound channels with minimal deflection, even when encountering heavy shoulder bones on cape buffalo and elephant. The round nose profile feeds reliably in both bolt-action and double rifles, while the banded design maintains accuracy at extended ranges. Temperature stability across -20°F to +125°F ensures consistent velocity whether hunting in Alaska or Africa.
