BARNES VOR-TX Safari Centerfire Rifle Rounds

Barnes VOR-TX .300 AAC Blackout 120-Grain TAC-TX Ammunition

Product overview

The BARNES VOR-TX Safari Centerfire Rifle Rounds are engineered for hunters, tactical shooters, and precision marksmen who demand superior performance. Featuring an all-copper TAC-TX bullet, this ammunition delivers controlled expansion, deep penetration, and consistent accuracy—making it ideal for medium to large game hunting, home defense, and tactical applications. The polymer-tipped, boat-tail design enhances aerodynamics for flatter trajectories, while the lead-free construction ensures compliance with environmental regulations. Whether you’re running an AR-platform rifle or a suppressed setup, BARNES VOR-TX Safari Centerfire Rifle Rounds provide reliable cycling, barrier-blind performance, and ethical terminal ballistics for any mission.

Key Benefits:

• Precision Accuracy: The high ballistic coefficient (BC) and boat-tail design ensure tight groupings at extended ranges.
• Terminal Performance: Rapid double-diameter expansion creates devastating wound channels while retaining 95%+ weight.
• Versatility: Functions flawlessly in SBRs, AR pistols, and suppressed rifles (10.5″ barrels and up).
• Eco-Friendly: 100% lead-free for use in restricted hunting zones.
• Reloadable Brass: High-quality cases for handloaders seeking consistency.

Here’s what sets this ammunition apart from the pretenders:

Terminal Performance That Actually Terminates

While other bullets expand unpredictably or fail to penetrate, the TAC-TX’s patented design opens to double its original diameter – every single time – creating wound channels that turn vital organs into paste. The polymer tip isn’t just for show; it initiates expansion at velocities where conventional hollow points fail.

Accuracy You Can Bet Your Life On

Sub-MOA guarantees aren’t just printed on the box for decoration. The boat-tail design and consistent propellant loads deliver the kind of precision that makes competitors’ ammunition look like amateur-hour reloads. Whether you’re taking ethical shots at game or engaging threats, these rounds go exactly where you aim.

Brass That Doesn’t Belong in the Trash

Unlike the disposable cases from most manufacturers, these premium brass casings are reload-ready. The primer pockets stay tight, the necks don’t split, and the base dimensions remain consistent – because Barnes understands that real shooters don’t treat ammunition as disposable.

FAQs 

Is this ammo good for hog hunting?

Yes—the 120-grain TAC-TX penetrates deeply through thick hide and bone, making it lethal for hogs.

Will it cycle in my 9″ AR pistol?

Absolutely. Tested in short-barrel rifles (SBRs) down to 9″ with 100% reliability.

How does it compare to Federal Fusion .300 BLK?

Barnes’ solid copper bullet outperforms Fusion’s lead-core design in penetration and weight retention.

Is it subsonic?

No—this supersonic load (2,150+ FPS) is optimized for hunting. For subsonic, see our 220-grain option.

Legal for hunting in California?

Yes. The lead-free construction complies with CA hunting regulations.
