Barnes VOR-TX .450 Bushmaster ammunition (brand part no. 32085) loads a 250-grain Triple-Shock X flat base bullet, a factory round built to the same standards Barnes uses on its handloaded ammunition. Barnes designed the TSX bullet as an all-copper, lead-free hunting projectile that expands into a reliable four-petal profile while holding together for deep penetration. The .450 Bushmaster’s straight-wall case makes it a popular choice for hunters in states that require straight-wall cartridges for deer season, and this load pushes that platform to its full potential. In rifle ammunition for big-bore, straight-wall hunting rifles, this is a load built for a clean, one-shot harvest.
