The Barnes VOR-TX Long Range 300 RUM ammunition delivers exceptional long-distance performance with 190-grain LRX Boat Tail bullets engineered for precision shooting. This premium hunting cartridge combines Barnes' proven copper construction with advanced ballistic design for superior accuracy and terminal performance at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The LRX (Long Range X) bullet features a polymer tip and precision boat tail design that maintains velocity and energy better than conventional lead-core bullets. Barnes' all-copper construction ensures 99-100% weight retention upon impact, creating devastating wound channels while eliminating lead contamination concerns. The streamlined profile achieves a ballistic coefficient of .469, significantly outperforming standard hunting bullets in wind drift and energy retention.
