The Barnes VOR-TX Long Range 270 Winchester ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for precision shooting at extended distances. This premium hunting cartridge features the advanced LRX (Long Range X) bullet design that maintains velocity and energy downrange better than conventional projectiles. Each 129-grain bullet incorporates Barnes' proven all-copper construction for consistent expansion and maximum weight retention.
What Makes This Different
The LRX bullet design combines a polymer tip with Barnes' signature all-copper construction and boat tail profile for superior ballistic coefficient. Unlike lead-core bullets that can fragment or lose mass, the monolithic copper construction ensures 99% weight retention through bone and tissue. The streamlined boat tail and precision-engineered tip reduce drag coefficient by up to 40% compared to flat-base designs, extending effective range significantly.
Key Features
- 129-grain LRX boat tail bullet with polymer tip for enhanced ballistics
- All-copper monolithic construction eliminates lead fragmentation
- Four razor-sharp cutting petals expand to 2x original diameter
- Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient to .480 G1
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles, with muzzle velocities averaging 3,060 fps from 24-inch barrels. The LRX bullet maintains over 1,800 fps and 900 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards, making it effective for medium to large game at extended ranges. The all-copper construction meets lead-free hunting requirements in California and other restricted areas while delivering clean, quick kills through deep penetration and controlled expansion.
