Barnes VOR-TX 338 Lapua Mag 280gr LRX BT Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The Barnes VOR-TX 338 Lapua Mag delivers exceptional long-range performance with its 280-grain LRX (Long Range X) bullet design. This premium hunting ammunition combines Barnes' proven copper construction with advanced ballistics for consistent expansion and deep penetration on large game at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

The LRX bullet features an all-copper construction that retains 99% of its weight upon impact, compared to lead-core bullets that typically lose 40-60% of their mass. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion while the boat tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectories. This ammunition consistently delivers 1.5 MOA accuracy or better in quality rifles, with velocities reaching 2,800 fps from 26-inch barrels.

Key Features

Field performance demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities from 1,600 to 3,200 fps, making this load effective from close-range encounters to shots exceeding 800 yards. The copper construction eliminates lead fouling in barrels while providing devastating terminal performance on elk, moose, and other large game. Weather-resistant primer sealing ensures reliable ignition in adverse conditions.
