The Barnes VOR-TX Long Range 7mm RUM 145gr LRX delivers exceptional long-distance performance for big game hunters pursuing elk, moose, and other large North American species. This premium ammunition combines Barnes' proven all-copper LRX bullet technology with optimized powder charges for maximum velocity retention at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The LRX (Long Range X) bullet features a polymer tip and streamlined boat tail design that maintains higher ballistic coefficients than traditional lead-core bullets. While conventional hunting rounds lose velocity rapidly beyond 300 yards, the LRX bullet retains energy more effectively at distances exceeding 500 yards. The all-copper construction eliminates lead fragmentation concerns while delivering controlled expansion across a wide velocity range.
Key Features
- 145-grain LRX all-copper bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion
- Boat tail design reduces drag and improves long-range trajectory
- Four razor-sharp petals create devastating wound channels
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
- Premium brass cases with consistent powder charges
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Optimized for 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum chambers
Field performance data shows the 145-grain LRX maintains over 2,000 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards when fired from a 26-inch barrel. The polymer tip initiates expansion upon impact while the copper petals peel back uniformly, creating wound channels that ensure quick, ethical kills. Temperature stability remains consistent from -40°F to 125°F, making this ammunition reliable across diverse hunting conditions.
