Solved from this product's advertised 2800 fps, 225gr bullet and G1 BC 0.514, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .338 Winchester Magnum.
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 225-grain TTSX is a solid copper .338 Winchester Magnum load made for big and medium game. There is no lead in the TTSX at all, only a copper hollow point with a polymer tip set in the cavity. It leaves the muzzle at 2,800 fps with 3,918 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .514.
From a 200-yard zero it drops 7.6 inches at 300 and 21.8 inches at 400, arriving with 2,272 ft-lbs. Zero it at 100 and the drop at 400 is 28.9 inches.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady Superformance 225-grain SST uses the same bullet weight over a lead core and starts 40 fps faster, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 21.1 inches at 400. Hornady Precision Hunter 230-grain ELD-X is the heavy load of the three, on a G1 BC of .616.
- Solid copper with no lead core, so it is legal where lead-free ammunition is required
- The least estimated recoil of the 225- and 230-grain loads compared
- Still moving at 2,132 fps at 400 yards
- Carries 111 ft-lbs less at the muzzle than Hornady's Superformance SST, which uses the same bullet weight
- A copper hollow point, where every other load compared runs a lead core
