Barnes VOR-TX ammunition is considered one of the most effective hunting cartridge lines in the world. This premium Barnes 45-70 Government ammunition features their Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullet designed for accuracy, weight retention, rapid expansion, and deep penetration. This winning combination is sure to help you bring down your next prize trophy on the plains of Africa!

Barnes' TSX bullets feature an all-copper construction designed to achieve 28% deeper penetration than lead-core bullets with greater weight retention. The TSX bullet is designed to expand into four sharp-edged copper petals upon contact destroying tissue, bone, and vital organs for a quick, humane kill. The TSX bullet features a bullet shank with multiple, precisely engineered grooves that reduce pressures allowing for higher velocities.

Each round is brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. Additionally, this ammunition is lead free!

Q: Why would you state that this is good ammo for African game? it is not intended for much bigger than white tail deer or smaller black bears.

Posted On: 10/12/2021 By: ken Borman

A: Like you, I wouldn't trust this particular bullet for Cape Buffalo or elephant, but African game does include several deer species which a 45-70 TSX load could humanely anchor.

Q: I have recently acquired a Springfield 1873 trapdoor rifle. I am concerned about the higher pressures generated with the newer powders as opposed to the "original" black powder. Are these Barnes Vor-TX 300 grain rounds suitable for use in it?

Posted On: 9/30/2021 By: Don

A: Thanks for reaching out Don! I believe this ammo should be safe for your Trapdoor – but an antique demands absolute certainty. Please let me connect with my guy at Barnes real quick and see what he says. I'll relay his answer to you ASAP.

Q: I have a brand new C.S.Sharps 45-70. Would you shoot these Barnes Vor-TX 300 grain rounds through it? I see it says that these rounds have a lower chamber pressure.....

Posted On: 5/18/2021 By: Caleb

A: Thanks for reaching out Caleb! I'm nearly certain your new rifle would have zero issuesfiring this ammo. That said, I always want to make absolutely certain whenever there's a rifle on the line. I'm going to reach out to C. Sharps Arms and ask them their opinion. We don't have this ammo in stock right now, but I hope their answer proves helpful. I'll relay it over to you as soon as I hear from them!

UPDATE: Just heard back from C. Sharps – they confirmed your rifle will have no problems firing this ammo.
