Description

The Barnes VOR-TX 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance through its all-copper TSX bullet construction. This premium hunting and tactical load combines match-grade accuracy with reliable expansion across velocity ranges from 1,800 to 4,000 fps.

What Makes This Different

The Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullet features four razor-sharp cutting petals that expand to nearly twice the original diameter upon impact. Unlike lead-core bullets that can fragment or fail to expand, the solid copper construction maintains 99% weight retention while creating massive wound channels. The boat tail design reduces drag coefficient by 12% compared to flat-base bullets, extending effective range and improving downrange energy transfer.

Key Features

62-grain TSX all-copper bullet with four-petal expansion design

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy from quality rifle platforms, with muzzle velocities averaging 3,020 fps from 20-inch barrels. The TSX bullet maintains expansion reliability on medium game from 50 to 400 yards, making it effective for both tactical applications and hunting scenarios. Copper fouling remains minimal due to the proprietary bullet coating, extending barrel life compared to conventional jacketed bullets.
