Product Overview
The Barnes VOR-TX .260 Remington pushes a 120-grain TTSX bullet at 2910 feet per second with 2257 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. Barnes pioneered the solid copper hunting bullet, and the TTSX represents their refined Triple-Shock design with an added polymer tip. The 0.412 G1 ballistic coefficient reflects the density limitations of all-copper construction, but the terminal performance makes up for aerodynamic shortcomings.
The TTSX features multiple grooves cut into the shank that reduce bearing surface and decrease pressure while allowing the copper to flex during barrel travel. Upon impact, the polymer tip initiates expansion as the bullet opens into four petals that create devastating wound channels. The all-copper design means nearly 100% weight retention—what enters the animal stays together through the exit. This deep penetration capability makes the bullet effective even on quartering shots into large game.
Hunters who value reliable stopping power and lead-free performance will appreciate this ammunition. It excels on deer, hogs, and black bear where deep penetration matters more than explosive expansion. The retained velocity from the lighter weight keeps trajectory manageable at medium range. California hunters and those on lead-restricted lands gain a premium factory option that delivers consistent results on medium to large game.
- Four-petal expansion creates wide wound channels while the copper petals stay attached for deep penetration
- 100% weight retention ensures the bullet exits with nearly the same mass it entered, maximizing energy transfer
- Lead-free construction meets California requirements and appeals to hunters concerned about meat contamination
- Barnes' Triple-Shock groove design reduces copper fouling and pressure compared to smooth-shank copper bullets
- The 0.412 BC ranks among the lowest in this caliber—conventional bullets like the SST at 0.485 perform better in wind
- All-copper bullets require minimum impact velocities around 1800 fps for reliable expansion
- VOR-TX ammunition carries a significant price premium over conventional hunting loads
- Less explosive expansion than lead-core bullets may result in less dramatic blood trails despite lethal hits
