The Barnes VOR-TX 30-06 Springfield ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance with its 130-grain TTSX (Triple-Shock X) bullet technology. This premium hunting cartridge combines all-copper construction with proven boat tail design for superior accuracy and devastating expansion on game.
What Makes This Different
The TTSX bullet features four razor-sharp cutting petals that expand to nearly twice the original diameter upon impact, creating massive wound channels while retaining 99% of its original weight. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that fragment and lose mass, the solid copper construction ensures deep penetration and consistent performance across all hunting scenarios. The boat tail design reduces drag and maintains velocity downrange, delivering flatter trajectories than comparable flat-base ammunition.
Key Features
- 130-grain TTSX all-copper hollow point bullet for maximum expansion
- Boat tail design improves ballistic coefficient and long-range accuracy
- Four-petal expansion creates 1.8x diameter wound channels
- 99% weight retention prevents bullet fragmentation
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
- Precision-loaded brass cases with consistent powder charges
- 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 TTSX bullet maintains expansion reliability from 1,800 fps down to 1,500 fps impact velocity, making it effective for both close-range whitetail hunting and extended-range elk shots. The all-copper construction eliminates lead fouling in rifle barrels while providing consistent point of impact across temperature variations.
