Barnes VOR-TX 12 Gauge Slug

The Barnes VOR-TX 12 Gauge Slug (part no. 20737) loads a single slug in a 12 gauge hull, 3 inches long, built for deer hunters. Barnes loads VOR-TX with its own saboted slug design, bringing the same bullet-engineering background it built its rifle-bullet reputation on to a shotgun slug. A slug trades pattern spread for a single, accurate projectile, useful anywhere a rifled bullet is not legal for hunting. In shotgun shells for deer hunters, this is a load built for exactly that job.
