The Buffalo Bore 19K20 delivers maximum terminal performance through Barnes VOR-TX XPB solid copper construction, engineered for hunters and law enforcement who demand reliable expansion without lead contamination. This premium 357 Magnum load generates consistent velocities while maintaining accuracy across various barrel lengths.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional jacketed hollow points, the Barnes XPB bullet expands to nearly twice its original diameter while retaining 99% of its weight. The solid copper construction eliminates lead fouling and meets environmental regulations for hunting in lead-restricted areas. Buffalo Bore's heavy-duty loading pushes this 140-grain projectile to velocities that exceed factory specifications by 200-300 fps.
Key Features
- Barnes VOR-TX XPB 140-grain solid copper hollow point bullet
- Lead-free construction complies with California and other state regulations
- Four-petal expansion design creates wound channels up to 0.70 inches
- 99% weight retention prevents fragmentation and ensures deep penetration
- Heavy-duty brass cases rated for multiple reloads

Field performance demonstrates consistent expansion in both tissue and ballistic gelatin, with penetration depths ranging from 12-18 inches depending on barrel length. The copper construction reduces barrel fouling compared to lead-core bullets, extending cleaning intervals during extended shooting sessions. Hunters appreciate the flat trajectory and retained energy at longer ranges, while the lead-free design allows use in areas with environmental restrictions.
