The Barnes VOR-TX Long Range 300 PRC ammunition delivers exceptional long-distance performance with its 208-grain LRX (Long Range X) bullet design. This premium hunting cartridge combines Barnes' proven all-copper construction with advanced boat-tail geometry for superior ballistic coefficients and terminal performance at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The LRX bullet features a polymer tip and streamlined boat-tail design that maintains velocity and energy better than conventional lead-core bullets. Barnes' all-copper construction ensures 99-100% weight retention upon impact, creating devastating wound channels while maintaining structural integrity. The boat-tail design provides a ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.648, significantly outperforming standard hunting bullets in wind drift and drop calculations.
Key Features
- 208-grain LRX all-copper bullet with polymer tip for consistent expansion
- Boat-tail design with high ballistic coefficient for flat trajectory
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations and environmental standards
- Precision-loaded brass cases for consistent chamber pressure and accuracy
- Four razor-sharp copper petals expand reliably at impact velocities down to 1,600 fps
- Match-grade powder charges for sub-MOA accuracy potential
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates this cartridge maintains supersonic velocity beyond 1,200 yards from a 26-inch barrel, making it effective for long-range hunting applications. The all-copper construction eliminates lead fragmentation concerns while delivering deep penetration on large game. Temperature-stable powder ensures consistent performance across hunting seasons, from sub-zero mountain hunts to warm-weather plains shooting.
