Barnes Bullets, well known for making top quality projectiles, also manufactures ammunition for handgun and rifle shooters. One of its popular rifle lines of ammo is the VOR-TX line. In addition to the original VOR-TX ammo, the company added Safari and Euro lines to compliment it. Now, the company added another niche line: the VOR-TX LR.

VOR-TX LR is a long range line of loaded hunting ammunition that uses premium components and offers excellent performance at distances beyond 700 yards. According to Barnes, the new line offers “match grade accuracy and unmatched terminal performance on game at close and extreme distances…”

These rounds use the company’s LRX bullets. The LRX is a copper projectile that has a long profile, boat tail and a polymer point in the hollow point cavity.

Each box of ammunition includes a ballistic chart that identifies the G1 ballistic coefficient and calculates velocity, drop and other variables at both sea level and 5,000 feet. Additionally, by June 1st, the company will offer G7 ballistic coefficient information and other calculations for these loads on its website.

The new loads:

• 6.5 Creedmoor – 127 gr LRX BT (MSRP: $38.10/box of 20)
• 7mm Rem Mag – 139 gr LRX BT (MSRP: $43.74/box of 20)
• 7mm RUM – 145 gr LRX BT (MSRP: $63.60/box of 20)
