Description

The Barnes VOR-TX LR 6.5 Creedmoor 127gr LRX load is a 20-round box of loaded rifle ammunition built around the all-copper Barnes LRX bullet (Barnes part no. 28986). Barnes describes the LRX as designed for precision at long range and for on-game effectiveness at every range, and lists this 6.5 Creedmoor load for big game and medium game hunting. The published figures put the 127-grain bullet at 2850 fps and 2291 ft-lb at the muzzle, with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.468. By 500 yards Barnes lists the load at 1948 fps and 1070 ft-lb, which gives a long-range hunter a clear picture of what is left at distance. Because the bullet is 100% copper, there is no lead core in the projectile.
