Product Overview
Best Uses for Barnes VOR-TX .450 Bushmaster 250gr TTSX Ammo
The Barnes VOR-TX .450 Bushmaster 250gr TTSX delivers premium all-copper performance for hunters who demand lead-free ammunition without compromising terminal effectiveness. The Tipped Triple-Shock X (TTSX) bullet at 2200 fps and 2686 ft-lbs of energy provides exceptional weight retention and controlled expansion, making it the top choice for hunters in California and other states with lead ammunition restrictions. The all-copper construction also appeals to hunters who prefer to eliminate lead exposure from their harvested game.
Barnes bullets are renowned for their penetration capabilities, and the TTSX in .450 Bushmaster is no exception. The proprietary copper alloy expands to nearly double its original diameter while retaining virtually 100% of its weight, driving through heavy bone and muscle to reach vital organs. This makes the load particularly effective on black bear and large boar hogs where conventional cup-and-core bullets might fragment or deflect. The 0.196 G1 ballistic coefficient is typical for all-copper bullets and provides acceptable performance at hunting distances.
For hunters pursuing game in straight-walled cartridge states who also value environmental responsibility, the Barnes VOR-TX offers the best of both worlds. The lead-free design eliminates concerns about lead contamination in gut piles that scavenging birds might consume, while the devastating terminal performance ensures ethical one-shot kills. Whether you are hunting whitetail in Michigan or bear in Wisconsin, this ammunition provides the premium performance that discerning hunters expect from the Barnes name.
