The Barnes VOR-TX .223 Remington 55gr TSX (Barnes part no. 21520) pairs a 55-grain TSX with .223 Remington chambering, built for big-game hunting. Barnes loads it for hunters who cannot afford a bullet that quits before it reaches the vitals. 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.
