Barnes VOR-TX .30-06 Springfield ammunition is precision-loaded with the deadly 180 grain Tipped TSX BT (Boat Tail) bullet. This bullet features a 100% copper body with multiple rings cut into the shank for improved accuracy. The polymer tip boosts ballistic coefficient and improves long-range performance. Upon impact, the bullet expands rapidly, creating four razor-sharp cutting petals that double the bullet's diameter, ensuring maximum tissue and bone destruction, pass-through penetration, and devastating energy transfer. This results in quick, humane kills on big game animals. With a muzzle velocity of 2700 fps and a ballistic coefficient of .484, this ammunition offers flat trajectories and excellent downrange performance for hunters.
