{"product_id":"barnes-35-whelen-vor-tx-180gr-ttsx-fb-ammo","title":"Barnes .35 Whelen VOR-TX 180gr TTSX FB Ammo","description":"\u003cp\u003eHunters demand ammunition that can deliver high energy and penetration, especially when pursuing large or dangerous game. The Barnes .35 Whelen VOR-TX loading rises to this challenge with its 180-grain TTSX bullet. Leaving the muzzle at an impressive 2900 fps, this cartridge generates 3362 ft-lbs of energy - more than enough to ethically harvest any North American big game species. The sectional density of .201 strikes an effective balance between expansion and penetration, allowing the bullet to reach vital organs even through heavy bone and thick hide. This high-energy load also provides shooters with flatter trajectories, simplifying shot placement at varying distances and reducing the need for significant holdover even at extended ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto;\"\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto;\"\u003e \u003ch2 style=\"color: #ff6600; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff6600; padding-bottom: 10px; font-size: 24px;\"\u003eBarnes .35 Whelen VOR-TX 180gr TTSX FB Highlights:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px; background-color: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #ff6600; color: white;\"\u003e \u003cth style=\"padding: 12px; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;\" colspan=\"2\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003eBarnes\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003eVOR-TX\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCaliber\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e.35 Whelen\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBullet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e180 grains\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBullet Type\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003eTTSX FB (Tipped Triple-Shock X Flat Base)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMuzzle Velocity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e2900 fps\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMuzzle Energy\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e3362 ft-lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBallistic Coefficient\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e.295\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSectional Density\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e.201\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRounds Per Box\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBullet Material\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003eCopper\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003eBig game hunting\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0px;\"\u003e \u003ch2 style=\"color: #ff6600; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff6600; padding-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; color: #666;\"\u003eThe Barnes .35 Whelen VOR-TX 180gr TTSX FB ammunition offers exceptional performance characteristics that make it an excellent choice for big game hunting.
