Solved from this product's advertised 2950 fps, 120gr bullet and G1 BC 0.412, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .260 Remington.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Barnes VOR-TX 120-grain TTSX is a solid copper .260 Remington hunting load made for big and medium game. The TTSX is a polymer-tipped copper bullet with a boat tail and no lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 2,950 fps with 2,319 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .412.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 7.1 inches at 300 and 20.9 inches at 400, with 1,182 ft-lbs left at that distance. Its estimated recoil sits between the other two light .260 Remington loads compared.
If you're cross-shopping, Nosler's Expansion Tip 120-grain E-Tip is the other copper bullet at this weight, 200 fps slower on a higher G1 BC of .497, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 22.9 inches at 400. Fort Scott Munitions' 123-grain TUI is the fastest .260 Remington load compared, at 3,026 fps.
- No lead core, so it is legal where lead-free hunting ammunition is required
- About 8 percent less estimated recoil than Fort Scott Munitions' 123-grain TUI
- More muzzle energy than Nosler's Expansion Tip 120-grain E-Tip at the same bullet weight
- Fort Scott Munitions' 123-grain TUI starts 76 fps faster and carries 26 more ft-lbs at 400 yards
- A hunting bullet only. For paper, Hornady's Match 130-grain ELD Match is a .260 Remington match load
