Barnes VOR-TX ammunition in 6.5mm Grendel (brand part no. 30829) is built for hunters who need a proven big-game cartridge they can count on. Barnes backs this load with the quality control shooters expect from a name they already trust. At the heart of this load is the 115 gr bullet with a tipped triple shock x design, matched to the 6.5mm Grendel platform shooters already run. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this is the Barnes load built for that job.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 6.5mm Grendel, a proven big-game cartridge with decades of field results behind it.
• The bullet weighs 115 gr, sized for the terminal performance this load is built around.
• The projectile is a Tipped Triple Shock X design, built to penetrate and transfer energy for a clean, ethical harvest.

• Each box holds 20 rounds, enough to work with before needing to reorder.
• Cases ship 10 boxes to a case, a useful case size for stocking a range or defensive supply.
• Cost works out to about $2.21 per round, affordable enough to shoot as much as you train.
• The box ships at approximately 0.85 lbs, worth knowing before you check out on a multi-box order.

• The Tipped TSX bullet’s polymer tip initiates expansion instantly while the all-copper, four-groove shank retains close to 100 percent of its weight.
