Product Overview
The Barnes VOR-TX Long Range 6.5 PRC 127gr LRX BT is engineered for hunters who demand lead-free performance without sacrificing terminal effectiveness. With a muzzle velocity of 3,010 fps and 2,555 ft-lbs of energy, this all-copper bullet delivers devastating wound channels through its four-petal expansion design. The LRX retains virtually 100% of its weight during penetration, ensuring deep, consistent performance on medium to large game.
Hunters in California and other states with lead ammunition restrictions will find this load essential for legal compliance without compromise. The solid copper construction eliminates fragmentation concerns in game meat while providing the penetration needed for elk-sized animals. The 127gr weight optimizes velocity in the 6.5 PRC while maintaining adequate sectional density for reliable performance on tough-angled shots.
Long-range hunters pursuing game in open country will appreciate the 0.468 G1 ballistic coefficient, which provides reasonable wind resistance for shots out to 500 yards and beyond. While not as aerodynamic as heavier match bullets, the LRX's polymer tip initiates expansion at lower impact velocities than many hunting bullets, extending its effective range compared to similar lead-free options.
- 100% lead-free construction for legal compliance in restricted areas
- Near-complete weight retention for deep penetration on large game
- Four-petal expansion creates devastating wound channels
- High velocity (3,010 fps) for flat trajectory
- No lead contamination of game meat
- Lower BC (0.468) than heavier lead-core alternatives
- Premium pricing for all-copper construction
- Requires 2,000+ fps impact velocity for reliable expansion
- May be too frangible for very close-range shots on large game
