Barnes VOR-TX .450 Bushmaster 250gr TSX Flat Base Ammunition

Barnes VOR-TX .450 Bushmaster 250gr TSX ammunition brings proven all-copper bullet technology to straight-wall rifle hunting. The .450 Bushmaster has carved out a dedicated following among hunters running AR-platform rifles and lever guns, especially in states with specific rifle restrictions. These rounds pair Barnes' respected TSX (Triple-Shock X) bullet design with the power needed for effective medium-range hunting of deer and similar game.

The 250-grain TSX bullet is engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration on game. All-copper construction eliminates lead, making these rounds suitable where non-lead ammunition is required or preferred. At a muzzle velocity of 2200 feet per second, these rounds develop 2687 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle—respectable energy for the cartridge's purpose and ballistic envelope. The flat base design supports consistent feeding and accuracy in both modern rifles and traditional lever actions.

VOR-TX ammunition is Barnes' premium hunting line, meaning each round receives quality control and component selection befitting serious field use. If you're running a .450 Bushmaster and want ammunition you can rely on during the season, this is working-class performance, not marketing. Twenty rounds per box means you get a practical quantity for practice, zeroing, and hunting.
