The Barnes VOR-TX 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition delivers precision hunting performance with 120-grain Tipped TSX bullets engineered for maximum weight retention and deep penetration. This premium hunting load combines Barnes' proven all-copper bullet technology with match-grade powder charges for consistent accuracy at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The Tipped TSX (Triple-Shock X) bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion while the all-copper construction retains 99% of its original weight. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, this design creates four razor-sharp petals that double the bullet diameter for devastating wound channels. The boat tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectories and improved long-range ballistics compared to flat-base alternatives.

Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with muzzle velocities averaging 2,875 fps from 24-inch barrels. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge excels at medium to long-range hunting applications, delivering flat trajectories and sufficient energy for deer-sized game at distances exceeding 400 yards. The all-copper construction maintains structural integrity through heavy bone contact while creating reliable expansion in soft tissue.
