Product Overview
Barnes VOR-TX .224 Valkyrie 77gr LRX BT ammunition delivers premium hunting performance with the extended-range capability that defines the .224 Valkyrie cartridge. The all-copper LRX (Long-Range X) bullet is engineered for deep penetration and controlled expansion, retaining virtually 100% of its weight for maximum energy transfer on medium game. At 2,850 fps with 1,389 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load offers ethical hunting performance at distances that exceed traditional .223 capabilities.
This ammunition excels for hunters pursuing deer, antelope, and feral hogs in open country where shots may extend beyond 300 yards. The 77-grain bullet's 0.404 G1 ballistic coefficient provides excellent wind resistance while the polymer tip initiates reliable expansion across a wide velocity range. The all-copper construction meets lead-free requirements in California and other restricted areas while delivering superior weight retention compared to conventional bullets.
For hunters who value ethical, clean kills with minimal meat damage, the Barnes LRX's four-petal expansion creates a devastating wound channel while driving deep for reliable vital organ penetration. The brass cases are suitable for reloading, allowing hunters to develop custom loads optimized for their specific hunting conditions.
