Description
Barnes VOR-TX is the company’s flagship hunting ammunition platform, loaded with the all-copper TSX (Triple-Shock X) bullet for hunters who demand maximum weight retention, double-diameter expansion, and deep penetration. This 223 Rem load drives a 55 gr TSX Flat Base bullet out of the muzzle at 3,240 fps, producing 1,282 ft lbs of energy and a flat trajectory suited to varmints and mid-size game alike.
Unlike traditional cup-and-core designs, the TSX is built from a single piece of copper with a deep hollow-point nose pre-cut into four sharp-edged petals. On impact, the bullet opens almost instantly and peels those petals back to roughly twice the original diameter, driving a permanent wound channel through tissue and bone while retaining nearly all of its mass. Multiple pressure-relieving grooves machined into the bullet’s shank reduce pressure and improve accuracy, and the 0.209 Ballistic Coefficient keeps the round tracking flat across intermediate hunting ranges.
Whether you are working whitetail deer, antelope, feral hogs, or other varmints, the 223 Rem / 55 gr combination delivers the balance of velocity and bullet construction needed for clean, ethical kills. Brass cases, reliable primers, and consistent loading make this ammunition a dependable choice for hunters who trust Barnes to put game down.
