Barnes VOR-TX .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition (part no. 21538) loads a 180-grain Tipped TSX Boat Tail for hunters who need controlled expansion without any surprises. Barnes pioneered the all-copper hunting bullet, and its factory loads carry that same lead-free, deep-penetrating design. The polymer tip initiates expansion of the all-copper hollow point, which peels back into four sharp petals and keeps essentially 100 percent of its weight. Brass-cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for the cartridge. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this .300 Winchester Magnum loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
