The Barnes VOR-TX Safari .416 Rem Mag 400gr Banded Solid .416 Remington Magnum load is a 20-round box of solid brass dangerous game ammunition (Barnes part no. 22018). Barnes says its VOR-TX Safari Banded Solid bullets are engineered to track straight, stay true through bone and perform without deformation for immediate stopping power. The published figures put the 400-grain round nose bullet at 2420 fps and 5203 ft-lb at the muzzle, with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.261. Barnes lists the pursuit as dangerous game and big game, with hunting as the purpose. A solid brass bullet is a different build from the expanding TSX in the same line, so this is the load to look at when the goal is a bullet that holds its shape.
