Barnes VOR-TX 338 Win Mag 225gr TTSX Lead-Free Polymer Tip Spitzer Boat Tail Ammo - 20 Rounds

Barnes VOR-TX 338 Win Mag ammunition delivers lead-free performance built for serious long-range hunters. Loaded with Barnes' TTSX (Tipped Triple-Shock X) bullets in 225 grain, these rounds combine the speed and flat trajectory of a polymer-tipped spitzer with the proven reliability of copper alloy construction. Each 20-round box gives you factory-loaded precision that eliminates the variables of hand-loading while maintaining the terminal performance hunters expect from one of the industry's most trusted bullet makers.

The TTSX bullet design sets the standard for lead-free hunting ammo. Its dual-diameter profile creates a larger wound cavity on impact while the boat-tail design supports long-range accuracy and velocity retention. Multiple grooves along the shank reduce pressure buildup and improve shot-to-shot consistency—critical when you're planning a hunt at distance. Because Barnes bullets are all-copper construction, they shed no lead, making them compliant with lead-free ammunition regulations in California and other restricted areas.

Whether you're pursuing elk, mule deer, or other big game that demands controlled expansion and deep penetration, the 338 Win Mag's proven power combined with the VOR-TX's terminal reliability makes this a go-to choice for hunters who won't compromise on performance. The 225 grain weight is a balanced offering for the cartridge—fast enough for reasonable trajectory, heavy enough to carry energy at extended ranges.
