The Barnes VOR-TX LR 6.5 PRC 127-grain LRX load (Barnes part no. 30830) is a box of 20 rounds of long-range hunting ammunition built around an all-copper bullet. Barnes describes the LRX bullet as designed not only for precision at long range but for on-game effectiveness at every range, which makes this a flexible choice for hunters using the 6.5 PRC. The cartridge is loaded in standard brass cases, a change Barnes made to improve reloadability, extend case life and increase availability. It is aimed at hunters who want one factory load that is built for distance and still performs up close.
