The Barnes VOR-TX Safari .416 Rem Mag 400gr TSX load is a 20-round box of Barnes Triple-Shock X ammunition for .416 Remington Magnum rifles (Barnes part no. 22017). Barnes says the TSX bullet is made of 100% copper and contains no lead, and that it is loaded in this round for dangerous game and plains game. The published figures put the 400-grain flat base bullet at 2420 fps and 5203 ft-lb at the muzzle, with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.392. When the bullet expands it forms four razor-sharp cutting petals, which Barnes says lets it penetrate farther through tough bone and tissue. Barnes adds that these bullets usually retain 100% of their original weight.
