Description
Barnes engineered VOR-TX LR specifically for hunters and long-range competitors who demand uncompromising performance at distance. This is factory ammunition assembled to the precision standards you'd expect from hand-loaded rounds. The 190-grain all-copper LRX bullet represents a significant step forward in long-range terminal ballistics, designed to expand reliably even when impact velocities drop below 1,600 fps.
What Makes VOR-TX LR Stand Out for Distance Shooting
The LRX bullet design starts with a long, sleek profile and boattail base that deliver a 0.54 ballistic coefficient. That translates to flatter trajectory and superior energy retention downrange. The nose features a specially engineered cavity that opens into four cutting petals on impact. This isn't a standard lead-core design either, the all-copper construction means reliable expansion at the low velocities typical of shots beyond 600 yards, while still performing effectively from point-blank range.
Velocity and Energy That Counts
Each round launches at 3,125 feet per second with 4,121 foot-pounds of energy. That combination gives you the horsepower needed for large game at extended distances. Every box includes detailed ballistic charts showing drop, energy, wind deflection, and velocity data calculated at both sea level and 5,000-foot elevation. That's the kind of information that helps make accurate shots past 700 yards.
Ammunition Built for Consistency
Barnes assembles VOR-TX LR to exacting tolerances using premium components and reloadable brass cases. The company's reputation rests on consistent performance round after round, and this line reflects that commitment. You get 20 rounds per box, plenty to practice with or for a serious hunting trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the VOR-TX LR over standard hunting ammunition?
The LRX bullet in VOR-TX LR is specifically engineered to expand at the lower impact velocities you encounter at extreme distances, while still performing effectively on game at close range. Most hunting bullets struggle with this balance, but the VOR-TX LR is built to handle everything from 100 yards to past 700 yards. That's the level of performance you need for confident long-range hunting.
Is the Barnes VOR-TX LR lead-free ammunition?
Yes, the all-copper LRX bullet construction is 100% lead-free, making it suitable for areas with lead-free hunting regulations. The all-copper design also delivers reliable expansion and exceptional weight retention without any compromise in terminal performance.
What makes the LRX bullet design better for long-range than other options?
The LRX features a longer, sleeker profile with a boattail that maximizes ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and more retained energy downrange. The nose cavity is engineered to open into four cutting petals reliably, even when impact velocity drops below 1,600 fps. That's a critical advantage when your shot is taking 2-3 seconds to reach its target.
Does each box come with information to help with trajectory calculation?
Yes, each box includes detailed ballistic charts showing G1 ballistic coefficients, velocity drop, energy, and wind deflection calculated at sea level and 5,000 feet elevation. This data is essential for building accurate drop charts for your specific rifle and scope setup.
