Barnes VOR-TX .308 Winchester ammunition (part no. 30816) loads a 130-grain Tipped TSX boat-tail bullet, factory-engineered performance built from Barnes’ all-copper bullet technology. Barnes designs the Tipped TSX to deliver complete penetration with virtually 100 percent weight retention and double-diameter expansion, a combination that puts game down decisively instead of leaving a long blood trail. The polymer tip initiates expansion instantly on impact while the all-copper shank holds together through bone, avoiding the jacket-core separation that limits standard lead-core hunting bullets. Twenty rounds to the box in brass cases, this is rifle ammunition built for hunters who demand both accuracy and terminal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does double-diameter expansion mean? The Tipped TSX bullet expands to roughly twice its original diameter on impact, creating a larger wound channel than a standard soft point.

Why choose an all-copper bullet over a lead-core soft point? All-copper construction avoids jacket-core separation, so the bullet retains nearly all of its weight and penetrates more completely.

Is 130 grains enough for deer and larger game? Yes, at .308 Winchester velocities, 130 grains combined with the TSX’s expansion and penetration is effective on deer-sized and larger game.
