The Barnes VOR-TX TTSX 7mm PRC 170gr load is a 20-round box of loaded rifle ammunition with a 170-grain Barnes tipped copper bullet (Barnes part no. 32482). Barnes says this 7mm PRC product was developed to offer the heaviest tipped copper bullet on the market, a full 10 grains heavier than the VOR-TX LR version. The maker describes the bullet as having modest features that make it extremely forgiving, and points shooters who want long-range applications to its VOR-TX LR load with the 160-grain LRX. Published figures list 2925 fps and 3230 ft-lb at the muzzle, with G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients of 0.503 and 0.250. Barnes says these all-copper bullets provide destructive power, double-diameter expansion, maximum weight retention and devastating energy transfer, all with excellent accuracy.
