Barnes VOR-TX .270 WSM ammunition (part no. 21559) loads a 140-grain Barnes Triple-Shock X Boat Tail for hunters who want a bullet that performs the same way shot after shot.

The all-copper hollow point petals peel back on impact for a wide wound channel while the bullet retains close to 100 percent of its weight for deep penetration. Brass-cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for the cartridge. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this .270 WSM loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
