What Makes Barnes VOR-TX Long Range 6.5 PRC Special

• 100% Copper LRX Bullet: 127-grain Long Range eXpanding (LRX) bullet is 100% copper—ZERO lead. Barnes’ most advanced hunting bullet design. Superior weight retention (95%+), deep penetration, and controlled expansion.

• Polymer Tip: Aerodynamic polymer tip improves ballistic coefficient and initiates expansion upon impact. Creates immediate nose cavity that opens to double original diameter (four-petal design) for lethal terminal performance.

• Extended Boat Tail: LRX features extended boat tail design for improved ballistic coefficient (BC). Flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and better retained energy at long range compared to standard bullets.

• Long-Range Optimized: Specifically designed for long-distance hunting (600+ yards). High BC, flat trajectory, and excellent terminal performance make this ideal for extended-range big game hunting.

• Nickel-Plated Brass Cases: Premium nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion, feed smoothly, and extract reliably. Nickel plating also reduces friction for consistent chambering. Reloadable for handloaders.

• Boxer Primers: Reliable, consistent ignition. Boxer-primed cases are reloadable. No misfires, no hangfires, no duds—critical for hunting situations.

• VOR-TX Precision Loading: Barnes VOR-TX line is loaded to exacting tolerances for maximum accuracy. Each round is precision-loaded for consistent velocity, pressure, and point of impact.

• Lead-Free Design: 100% copper construction makes this ammunition legal in lead-free hunting zones (California, Arizona, etc.). No lead contamination in game meat or environment.

• Big Game Performance: 127-grain 6.5 PRC with LRX bullet is ideal for elk, deer, antelope, and other big game. Deep penetration, controlled expansion, and high weight retention ensure ethical kills.

• 6.5 PRC Cartridge: 6.5mm Precision Rifle Cartridge is a modern long-range hunting round. Flat trajectory, high BC bullets, and excellent terminal performance. Gaining popularity among hunters and precision shooters.
