The Barnes VOR-TX Long Range 338 RUM delivers exceptional terminal performance with 250-grain LRX bullets engineered for extended-range precision shooting. This premium hunting ammunition combines lead-free construction with advanced ballistic coefficients to maintain velocity and energy at distances where conventional bullets fall short.
What Makes This Different
The LRX (Long Range X) bullet features a polymer tip and optimized boat tail design that achieves superior ballistic coefficients compared to traditional lead-core hunting bullets. Barnes' all-copper construction ensures 99-100% weight retention upon impact, creating devastating wound channels while maintaining structural integrity. The streamlined profile reduces drag significantly, extending effective range by 100-200 yards over comparable weight conventional bullets.
