Barnes VOR-TX 5.56x45mm NATO 62 Grain TSX HPBT Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

Barnes VOR-TX 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition brings the proven terminal performance of Barnes' TSX bullet design to factory-loaded precision rounds. Each box contains 20 rounds loaded with 62-grain TSX HPBT (Hollow Point Boat Tail) projectiles, engineered for consistent expansion and deep penetration in intermediate rifle platforms. Whether you're zeroing an AR-15, training at distance, or hunting medium game, VOR-TX delivers the accuracy and stopping power Barnes is known for—without the lead, making it a cleaner choice for shooters and the environment.

The TSX bullet's copper construction and hollow-point design work together to produce reliable, controlled expansion on impact. Multiple grooves along the bullet's shank help manage pressure curves and improve shot-to-shot consistency, a critical advantage when precision matters. The 62-grain weight in 5.56 NATO is a capable, versatile choice that balances velocity, accuracy, and terminal effect across typical hunting and tactical ranges.

Barnes loads VOR-TX to exacting factory standards, so you get the consistency of ammunition designed as a system—bullet, powder, primer, and case working in harmony. Lead-free construction makes these rounds suitable for ranges and regions with lead ammunition restrictions, without compromise on performance. For shooters who demand factory ammunition that shoots like handloads, VOR-TX is worth the investment.
