Barnes VOR-TX Safari .500 Nitro Express 570gr TSX Ammo, 20-Round Box

Barnes VOR-TX Safari .500 Nitro Express ammunition (part no. BB500NE1) loads a 570-grain TSX Flat Base bullet for hunters heading after the heaviest, most dangerous game on the planet. Barnes builds the TSX as an all-copper monolithic bullet, engineered under stringent production standards to deliver deep, controlled expansion without shedding weight, exactly what is required to stop a charging animal rather than just wound it. At roughly 2,100 fps, this load carries serious energy behind a bullet built to hold together through heavy bone and muscle. For double rifles and single-shots chambered in .500 Nitro Express, this is rifle ammunition built for one purpose: dangerous-game safari hunting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the TSX bullet suited for dangerous game? Its all-copper monolithic construction expands in a controlled way while retaining nearly all of its weight, driving deep, reliable penetration on thick-skinned animals.

Is .500 Nitro Express only for double rifles? It is most commonly chambered in double rifles and single-shots built specifically for dangerous-game safari hunting.

Why choose an all-copper bullet over a jacketed lead-core bullet? All-copper construction avoids jacket-core separation, so the bullet holds together and penetrates deeply even through heavy bone.
