Barnes VOR-TX SAFARI .458 Winchester Magnum 450 gr Triple-Shock X Boat Tail, 20-Round Box

Barnes VOR-TX SAFARI .458 Winchester Magnum ammunition (part no. 22022) loads a 450-grain Barnes Triple-Shock X Boat Tail for dangerous-game hunters taking on the world’s largest, most heavily boned animals. Barnes pioneered the all-copper hunting bullet, and its factory loads carry that same lead-free, deep-penetrating design. 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 .458 Winchester Magnum loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
