Barnes VOR-TX 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition is precision-loaded with the deadly 70 grain TSX BT (Triple-Shock X Boat Tail) bullet. This all-copper projectile offers hunters double-diameter expansion, maximum weight retention, and excellent accuracy. The TSX bullet provides maximum tissue and bone destruction, pass-through penetration, and devastating energy transfer. Multiple grooves in the bullet's shank reduce pressure and improve accuracy. The bullet opens instantly on contact, with the nose peeling back into four sharp-edged copper petals, destroying tissue, bone, and vital organs for quick, humane kills. With a muzzle velocity of 2850 fps and muzzle energy of 1263 ft-lbs, this ammunition delivers exceptional performance for hunting and precision shooting applications.
