Barnes builds its VOR-TX .400 Legend load (brand part no. 32481) around a purpose-built 190-grain TSX bullet, giving straight-wall-cartridge hunters a load engineered to expand reliably even as velocity fades toward subsonic range. Barnes opens the bullet’s nose wide so fluid enters the hollow cavity immediately on impact, triggering expansion at velocities where many conventional bullets stall out and fail to open. The TSX’s six-petal design multiplies the wound channel while the solid copper shank retains its weight, making this a legitimate 300-yard cartridge rather than a close-range-only option. For hunters in straight-wall-cartridge states loading up on rifle ammunition, this VOR-TX load is purpose-built for the job.
