Barnes Vor-tx 44mag 225gr Xpb 20/200

The Barnes VOR-TX 44 Magnum 225 Grain XPB ammunition delivers proven performance for hunters and defensive shooters who demand rapid, reliable bullet expansion. Built on the proven XPB (Expanding Point Bullet) platform, this load features lead-free construction and achieves 1,275 feet per second velocity from standard 44 Magnum handguns, balancing penetration depth with rapid expansion for ethical game harvesting and defensive applications.

The 225-grain XPB bullet is engineered to expand instantly upon impact, peeling back into six sharp-edged copper petals without requiring a velocity threshold. This immediate expansion minimizes over-penetration while maximizing energy transfer to the target, a critical distinction for hunters operating in varied medium game scenarios where shot placement is essential. The copper construction eliminates lead shedding, meeting regulations in lead-sensitive hunting areas while maintaining barrier-blind terminal performance across typical engagement distances. Twenty rounds per box provide sufficient volume for both range practice and field carry.

This ammunition suits hunters pursuing deer, wild hog, and similar game with 44 Magnum handguns and carbines, as well as serious shooters seeking verified defensive loads. The 225-grain bullet weight represents the standard working mass for 44 Magnum field applications, balancing recoil management with impact energy. Barnes VOR-TX loads are produced to exacting standards and function reliably in both single-action revolvers and modern double-action designs across common barrel lengths.
