Product Overview
Barnes VOR-TEX 130-grain TTSX Reduced Recoil is a copper .30-06 Springfield hunting load made for medium game. At 130 grains it is the lightest TTSX Barnes loads in this case, a polymer-tipped copper bullet with no lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 2,760 fps with 2,199 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .337.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 26.6 inches at 400 yards. Estimated recoil is about 29 percent under Winchester's Ballistic Silvertip 150-grain.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Custom Lite 125-grain SST is the other reduced-recoil load in the caliber and starts 60 fps slower on a G1 BC of .305 and drops 29.5 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Remington's 125-grain Core-Lokt PSP has a G1 BC of .268 and off that zero it drops 22.3 inches at 400.
- No lead core, so it stays usable where lead-free ammunition is required
- The lightest estimated recoil in .30-06 apart from Hornady's Custom Lite 125-grain SST
- Carries 1,167 ft-lbs at 300 yards, ahead of Hornady's Custom Lite 125-grain SST at 993
- Only 2,199 ft-lbs at the muzzle, the least of the .30-06 loads compared apart from Hornady's Custom Lite 125-grain SST
- Drops 4.3 inches more at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero than Remington's 125-grain Core-Lokt PSP
- A reduced-recoil load, so it carries less bullet than the 150-grain hunting loads compared
