Barnes VOR-TX ammunition in .28 Nosler (brand part no. 32248-BAR) loads a 162-grain TSX boat-tail bullet, a newly engineered version purpose-built from the ground up to optimize performance in this specific cartridge. While many shooters expect a polymer-tipped projectile in a modern magnum, Barnes chose a non-tipped TSX design here to maximize bullet weight while ensuring reliable stabilization in the SAAMI-standard 1:9 twist rate, a critical consideration for long-range accuracy. The all-copper Triple-Shock X design delivers virtually 100 percent weight retention with reliable petal expansion, giving hunters a bullet that stays together no matter what it hits. For .28 Nosler hunters who want a bullet engineered specifically around this cartridge’s twist rate, this rifle ammunition is built for that fit.
