Barnes Vor-Tx .357 Mag 140gr XPB - 20 Rounds

Barnes Vor-Tx .357 Magnum ammunition delivers reliable stopping power for hunting and self-defense with the proven XPB (Expanding Projectile) bullet. The 140-grain load is engineered to open on contact, providing the rapid expansion and deep penetration that handgun hunters and defensive shooters demand. Each box contains 20 rounds of factory-loaded ammunition ready to shoot.

The XPB bullet design is built around Barnes' copper-alloy construction, which retains weight through barriers and bone. The expanding bullet nose peels back into six sharp-edged petals on impact, maximizing tissue destruction and energy transfer. This combination of instant expansion and pass-through performance makes the Vor-Tx .357 Mag load a practical choice for hunting medium game and for shooters who prioritize consistent, effective terminal performance.

Barnes has built the Vor-Tx line specifically for handgun applications, balancing velocity, accuracy, and terminal behavior in factory loads. The 140-grain bullet weight in .357 Magnum sits in the sweet spot between recoil management and stopping effectiveness—useful whether you're hunting hogs, deer, or relying on the round for personal protection. The ammunition comes loaded and ready to feed through standard .357 Magnum revolvers and semi-automatic pistols.
