The Barnes VOR-TX 5.56x45mm NATO 70gr TSX (Barnes part no. 31191) loads a 70-grain TSX in 5.56x45mm NATO for big-game hunting. Barnes builds this round for hunters who need one well-placed shot to do the job. The all-copper Triple Shock X (or XPB in handgun form) bullet uses precision-cut grooves in its shank to reduce bore friction and pressure, while its petals peel back to roughly double diameter without shedding weight. In rifle ammunition, this is the load to zero with and trust on the shot that only comes once a season.
