The VOR-TX 12 Gauge 3" slug brings serious stopping power to your shotgun platform with proven construction that separates itself from standard slugs. Built on Barnes' reputation for uncompromising expansion and weight retention, this all-copper projectile opens instantly upon impact into six razor-sharp petals that create a wide wound channel while maintaining the mass needed for deep penetration.
The polymer tip works in tandem with the all-copper body to promote rapid, consistent expansion. Unlike slugs that fragment or lose critical weight during penetration, the VOR-TX maintains structural integrity through tough hide and bone, which matters when your shot placement needs to count. The geometry is engineered to expand to nearly double its original diameter while retaining enough mass to push through vital areas and create tissue destruction that actually brings game down efficiently.
Loaded to 1550 feet per second from a 30-inch barrel, the VOR-TX generates 2,334 foot-pounds of muzzle energy that translates to a flatter trajectory than typical slugs, making it easier to dial in for longer shotgun ranges. This velocity and the aerodynamic design work together to deliver the kind of precision you'd expect from a modern slug, not the lobbing trajectory of older loads. Accuracy testing shows groups tight enough for precision work out to reasonable shotgun distances when fired from rifles-barreled shotguns and slug guns.
Packaged in a box of 5 rounds, each VOR-TX slug tips the scales at 438 grains. The all-copper construction is engineered for those who understand that terminal performance matters more than cutting corners on ammunition. Whether you're hunting from a stand or testing your shotgun's potential at the range, these slugs provide the combination of velocity, accuracy, and predictable downrange results that separate quality ammunition from the rest.
These expander-tipped slugs are designed to perform well when fired through rifled barrel shotguns. While they can cycle through smoothbore barrels, the rifled barrel delivers the accuracy these quality slugs are engineered for, allowing the projectile to stabilize in flight and print tight groups at distance.
The all-copper body with polymer tip expands into six razor-sharp petals upon impact, creating a wide wound channel while retaining mass for deep penetration. This design balances rapid expansion for energy transfer with the structural integrity needed to drive through bone and vital organs.
Many users sight in at 100 yards, which provides point-blank capability from zero to approximately 130 yards depending on your specific shotgun and shooting setup. The 1550 fps velocity and aerodynamic design deliver a flatter trajectory than standard slugs, reducing drop compared to lower-velocity loads.
Yes, the all-copper expander-tipped construction is lead-free, making these slugs suitable for hunters who prefer non-toxic ammunition or operate in areas where lead ammunition restrictions apply.
