Description
The 400 Legend is a solid cartridge for serious hunters, and Barnes recognized it needed ammunition engineered specifically for this caliber. That's exactly what you get with the VOR-TX 400 Legend load. The 190-grain TSX bullet uses a design that works across the entire velocity range this cartridge can deliver, which is a big deal for a straight-wall like the 400 Legend.
What Makes the Barnes VOR-TX 400 Legend Stand Out
The TSX bullet itself is the key here. It features a wide open nose cavity that lets fluid enter immediately on impact, causing rapid expansion. The six-petal design means this bullet expands predictably even when velocities dip, which matters if you're reaching out or taking subsonic shots. Barnes intentionally left off the TSX grooves on this load because they found they don't affect pressure, fouling, or accuracy in the 400 Legend. That's the kind of careful engineering that separates Barnes from generic offerings.
Performance You Can Count On
The all-copper construction gives you lead-free performance if that matters for where you hunt. You also get the inherent benefit of TSX bullets: excellent weight retention combined with deep, consistent penetration. The flat-base design promotes stability through the bore and consistent external ballistics. This ammunition is built for field use where reliability matters more than laboratory numbers. From what we see with 400 Legend ammunition in general, the 190-grain weight offers the best balance between velocity and terminal performance, making it the go-to choice for most hunting situations within the cartridge's practical range.
Built for the 400 Legend
Twenty rounds per box means you get enough to do proper load development or have ready for the season. If you're running a Savage, Winchester, Ruger, or Mossberg in 400 Legend, this ammunition is designed to work well in all of them. Barnes VOR-TX ammunition has built a solid reputation for consistent quality and field-proven results, and this 400 Legend load follows that tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Barnes TSX design better than standard copper bullets?
The TSX uses an open-nose cavity that allows fluid entry immediately on impact, causing the bullet to expand rapidly and reliably. The six-petal petals expand consistently even at lower velocities, which is important for the 400 Legend where you might be shooting subsonic loads or at extended range. The all-copper construction means no lead core separation, so you get excellent weight retention and predictable penetration.
Is the 190-grain TSX the right choice for my 400 Legend rifle?
The 190-grain weight is the most balanced option for the 400 Legend. It offers better velocity than heavier bullets while maintaining plenty of mass for deep penetration on deer, hog, and black bear. Real-world testing shows these bullets shoot accurately out of most factory rifles in this caliber, and the velocity range from most 400 Legend rifles puts this bullet in the sweet spot for reliable expansion.
Can I use this ammunition in my AR-platform 400 Legend rifle?
Yes. Barnes VOR-TX ammunition works in bolt-action and AR-platform rifles chambered in 400 Legend, including rifles from Savage, Winchester, Ruger, and Mossberg. The brass cases are standard .400 Legend dimensions, and the ammunition cycles reliably through modern 400 Legend magazines.
What is the effective range of this ammunition on game?
The 190-grain TSX in the 400 Legend is effective to about 250-300 yards depending on your rifle and how you're zeroed. The flat base design and velocity from typical factory 400 Legend rifles provide a reasonably flat trajectory for a straight-wall cartridge. Like any ammunition, actual performance depends on your shooting ability, rifle accuracy, and shot placement.
