BARNES VOR-TX Safari TSX Flat Base Centerfire Rifle Rounds

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

Tactical-Grade Performance for Hunters & Shooters

The BARNES VOR-TX Safari TSX Flat Base Centerfire Rifle Rounds redefine precision in intermediate cartridges, combining match-grade accuracy, barrier-blind terminal performance, and suppressor-ready versatility. Engineered for hunters, tactical operators, and precision shooters, this all-copper ammunition delivers consistent expansion, deep penetration, and sub-MOA accuracy—whether you’re taking whitetail at 200 yards or engaging threats in close quarters. The BARNES VOR-TX Safari TSX Flat Base Centerfire Rifle Rounds offer the same level of reliability and ethical performance, ensuring a flawless experience for any hunting or tactical need.

Key Features & Specifications

The .300 AAC Blackout/Whisper ammunition is specifically optimized for AR-15 platforms and short-barreled rifles (SBRs), making it a top choice for tactical shooters and hunters alike. It features a 120-grain TAC-TX Boat Tail bullet, offering an ideal balance of velocity and terminal ballistics. Designed with a polymer tip and enhanced ballistic coefficient, this round ensures rapid expansion and superior long-range stability. Constructed from solid copper, it is 100% lead-free, provides over 95% weight retention, and is compliant with California hunting regulations. With a ballistic coefficient of 0.330 or higher, it delivers a flat trajectory out to 300 yards. The bullet also excels in barrier performance, reliably penetrating materials like glass, drywall, and bone better than traditional lead-core rounds. Housed in high-quality, reloadable brass casings comparable to Lapua standards, it’s an excellent choice for precision handloads.Why This Ammo Stands Out

Lethal Terminal Performance

• Double-diameter expansion creates massive wound channels
• 18″+ penetration in ballistics gel (through heavy muscle & bone)
• Humane kills on deer, hogs, and predators

Match-Grade Precision

• Boat-tail design + polymer tip = 0.75 MOA in tested rifles
• Velocity consistency (±15 FPS) for repeatable long-range performance

Tactical Versatility

• Cycles flawlessly in 10.5″+ AR pistols/SBRs
• Suppressor-ready (performs in both supersonic & subsonic configurations)
• Trusted by MIL/LE for duty use

Eco-Friendly Value

• 100% lead-free (compliant with all state hunting regulations)
• Reloadable brass saves money for precision shooters

The solid copper TAC-TX offers better barrier penetration and weight retention vs. Hornady’s lead-core bullets.

Minimum barrel length for reliable cycling?

10.5 inches (tested in Sig MCX, Daniel Defense DDM4 PDW).

Suitable for home defense?

Yes – its controlled expansion reduces over-penetration risks vs FMJ.

Subsonic or supersonic?

Supersonic (for subsonic loads, see our 220-grain VOR-TX).

BC for long-range shooting?

0.330+ (superior to most 300 BLK hunting rounds).
