The Barnes VOR-TX LR .300 PRC 208gr LRX load is a 20-round box of loaded rifle ammunition built around the all-copper Barnes LRX bullet (Barnes part no. 32175). Barnes describes the LRX as designed for precision at long range and for on-game effectiveness at every range, and lists this .300 PRC load for big game and medium game hunting. The published figures put the 208-grain bullet at 2860 fps and 3779 ft-lb at the muzzle, with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.633. By 500 yards Barnes lists the load at 2173 fps and 2181 ft-lb, which gives a long-range hunter a clear picture of what is left at distance. Because the bullet is 100% copper, there is no lead core in the projectile. Barnes notes that this product is now loaded in standard brass cases rather than the nickel-plated brass it was previously known for.
