Barnes VOR-TX .357 Magnum 140 gr XPB Ammunition

Description

Barnes VOR-TX ammunition puts precision handloaded quality into factory-loaded rounds. This .357 Magnum load pairs the legendary reliability of brass casings with Barnes' all-copper XPB bullet design, delivering the kind of terminal performance that keeps it in the field bag of serious hunters and revolver enthusiasts alike.

Deep Penetration Meets Rapid Expansion

The XPB bullet opens instantly upon impact, peeling back into six sharp-edged copper petals that create maximum tissue and bone destruction. This combination of rapid double-diameter expansion with deep, dependable penetration makes the round effective on medium-size game. At 1,265 feet per second from a 4-inch barrel, you're getting 498 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, which translates to clean, ethical kills when shot placement is good and distances are reasonable.

Why All-Copper Construction Matters

Because the XPB is machined from solid copper rather than a jacketed lead core, there's zero risk of jacket separation. That means what leaves the barrel is what hits your target, with virtually 100% weight retention. The lead-free design also makes cleanup after a day at the range much cleaner, and it sidesteps any ammunition restrictions you might encounter in certain areas.

Built for Reliable Feeding and Reloading

These rounds come in reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, so once you've fired them, you can reload them again if you're into hand-loading. The ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, and spec'd to run reliably through any standard .357 Magnum revolver. You get 20 rounds per box, which is the standard configuration for this load.
