The Barnes VOR-TX .45 Colt 200gr XPB (Barnes part no. 21547) is a .45 Colt load stepping up a 200-grain XPB for big-game hunting. Barnes engineers this load to put game down cleanly with dependable expansion and penetration. 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 handgun ammunition, this is the load to zero with and trust on the shot that only comes once a season.
