Product Summary

Barnes Bullets VOR-TX 5.56x45mm NATO 62 Grain TSX Boat Tail Ammunition, 20 Rounds Per Box Md: 31190
Barnes VOR-TX is precision ammunition loaded with TSX, Tipped TSX or TSX FN bullets to offer double-diameter expansion, maximum weight retention and excellent accuracy. The TSX bullets provide maximum tissue and bone destruction, pass-through penetration and devastating energy transfer. Multiple grooves in the bullet's shank reduce pressure and improve accuracy. Bullets open instantly on contact - no other bullet expands as quickly. Nose peels back into four sharp-edged copper petals destroying tissue, bone and vital organs for a quick, humane kill. Whether you're after whitetail deer, elk, antelope or boar, put 'em in the VOR-TX and they're going down.

Caliber Dictionary

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.

The 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge was designed by James Sullivan, a member of Eugene Stoner's engineering team that developed both the M16 rifle and its original cartridge. The 5.56X45mm NATO was adopted by the U.S. military in 1964 and by NATO in 1980. With bullet diameter of .224-inch, the original M193 military cartridge used a 55-grain bullet at 3250 fps; the current M855A1 cartridge, developed by FN, uses a 62.5-grain bullet at 3020 fps, offering greater range and better penetration. The civilian version of the 5.56X45mm is 223 Remington; the cartridges are dimensionally identical but military chamber dimensions and specifications for military brass are different. It is considered safe to use 223 Remington ammo in a 5.56X45MM NATO chamber, but not a good idea to use 5.56X45mm ammo in a rifle specifically chambered for the 223 Remington. Although the stopping power of .22-caliber bullets remains controversial the 5.56X45mm has served well in now multiple generations of M16 rifles. — Craig Boddington

Most Helpful Positive Review

I'm a Type 7 FFL that primarily assembles custom AR platform rifles. Part of my job is to test all manufactured ammunition so that I may make the best suggestions to my clients when asked about what is best for a particular AR or purpose. I have seen gel tests with Barnes 62 grain TSX. I was amazed at how well it maintained its full weight and the consistency of its expansion. Also, I was impressed that it created a wide wound channel. My best groups came with a 1-8 barrel, but it also shot well with 1-9 and 1-7 barrels. I priced it against comparable purposed ammunition, and I feel like I get more for my money with Barnes.
