Barnes VOR-TX 45-70 Government 300 Grain TSX Hollow Point Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Barnes VOR-TX 45-70 Government 300 Grain TSX Hollow Point ammunition pairs Barnes' legendary TSX bullet with factory precision loading for hunters who demand reliable, humane terminal performance. This is centerfire rifle ammo built around a lead-free hollow point that's engineered for quick, predictable expansion—ideal for hunting medium to large game with one of America's most effective lever-action and single-shot cartridges.

What sets the TSX design apart is its construction: a solid copper bullet with grooves machined into the shank to reduce pressure and enhance accuracy. On impact, the nose petals back into four sharp-edged copper segments that reliably expand while the bullet's body retains weight for deep penetration. That combination of expansion and weight retention means more consistent energy transfer and less risk of over-penetration or fragmentation.

Barnes VOR-TX rounds come factory loaded to precise specifications, eliminating variables that come with handloading and giving you the accuracy and consistency hunters need in the field. Lead-free construction makes these rounds compatible with sensitive habitats and regulations in states that restrict lead ammunition. Each box contains 20 rounds of ready-to-shoot ammunition.

The 45-70 Government remains a workhorse for hunters using traditional lever-action rifles and modern single-shots alike. Pair the proven ballistics of VOR-TX with the stopping power of the 45-70, and you're carrying a hunting load built on over a century of cartridge reliability.
