The Barnes VOR-TX Handgun .45 Auto 185gr TAC-XP load (Barnes part no. 32007) puts an all-copper hollow point in a standard-pressure .45 Auto cartridge. Barnes lists it for both hunting and personal defense, with medium game among its stated pursuits. The 185-grain bullet is 100% copper, so it is lead-free and built to keep its weight as it expands. It leaves the muzzle at 1060 fps and comes in a 20-round box.
