Description
Barnes VOR-TX ammunition brings handloaded precision to a factory round when you choose the all-copper XPB bullet design. The 225-grain weight hits the sweet spot for the .44 Remington Magnum, delivering the kind of terminal performance that makes this caliber legendary for hunting and personal defense.
What Makes VOR-TX Stand Out
The XPB bullet is engineered from solid copper with a specially designed hollow point that doubles diameter upon impact. When the nose peels back into six sharp-edged copper petals, you get maximum tissue and bone destruction without the jacket-to-core separation that can plague traditional jacketed bullets. This design means the bullet stays intact through the whole event, transferring energy with precision.
Terminal Performance You Can Count On
With a muzzle velocity around 1,275 feet per second and 762 foot-pounds of energy, this round hits hard at practical hunting distances. The all-copper construction gives you 25% better penetration over lead-core alternatives while retaining virtually all its weight, which means you get both depth and reliable expansion. That combination makes these rounds equally at home taking deer-sized game or serving as a serious defensive option.
Built for Consistency
These rounds come in reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, so if you reload you've got more value here. They're manufactured to precise tolerances, meaning excellent accuracy and consistent velocities from shot to shot. Twenty rounds per box gives you enough to hunt, practice, and get your revolver dialed in without overcomplicating your ammunition supply.
