Product Overview
Best Uses for Barnes VOR-TX Long Range .300 PRC 208gr LRX BT Ammo
The Barnes VOR-TX Long Range .300 PRC 208gr LRX BT combines the legendary terminal performance of Barnes all-copper bullets with the external ballistics needed for ethical long-range hunting. Launching at 2860 fps with 3780 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and a solid 0.633 G1 BC, this load is engineered for hunters who pursue elk, moose, and large bears in open country where shots beyond 400 yards are common. The LRX (Long Range X) bullet features a polymer tip that initiates expansion while the monolithic copper construction ensures near-100% weight retention for deep, straight-line penetration.
This ammunition excels in western big game hunting where long shots across canyons, valleys, and open meadows are the norm rather than the exception. The lead-free construction makes it compliant with California regulations and acceptable in condor zones, while providing the penetration needed to reach vitals on quartering shots at extended distance. Hunters pursuing trophy elk and mule deer in states like Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and New Mexico will appreciate the combination of flat trajectory and devastating terminal performance.
The VOR-TX Long Range is particularly well-suited for guided hunts where a single ammunition choice must handle any shot opportunity that presents itself, from close brush encounters to distant ridgeline shots. The four-petal expansion design creates massive wound channels while the retained weight ensures exit wounds for improved blood trails. Hunters who reload can also use this ammunition to establish a performance baseline before developing custom loads with the same LRX bullet.
