Barnes VOR-TX Safari 470 Nitro Express 500 Grain TSX HPFB Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Barnes VOR-TX Safari 470 Nitro Express ammunition delivers serious stopping power for dangerous game hunting with a 500 grain TSX HPFB (Tipped Solid Bullet, Hollow Point Flat Base) lead-free projectile. Built for hunters pursuing Africa's toughest game, this round combines the ballistic engineering Barnes is known for with the regulatory compliance of non-toxic construction. Each box contains 20 rounds loaded to Safari-grade specifications.

The TSX bullet design is built around a solid copper construction that maintains integrity through heavy bone and muscle, critical traits when hunting species that demand absolute reliability. The hollow point cavity initiates rapid, controlled expansion on impact, while the flat base configuration supports consistent velocity and energy retention downrange. Lead-free construction makes this load legal for jurisdictions with non-toxic ammunition requirements—increasingly common in regulated hunting areas.

This is specialized ammunition for a specialized rifle. The 470 Nitro Express is a classic big-bore double rifle cartridge, and Barnes engineered the VOR-TX Safari line specifically for that platform. If you're bringing a .470 NE to the field, you're already committed to the highest standards of dangerous game hunting; your ammunition should match that commitment.
