Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting deer or hogs with a 10mm pistol?
Yes. The Barnes VOR-TX 155-grain XPB is specifically designed for hunting applications. The all-copper bullet expands to double its diameter on impact and penetrates deeply enough to reach vital organs on medium to large game, including whitetail deer, feral hogs, and black bear. It is one of the most effective 10mm hunting loads on the market.
Will this ammunition cycle reliably in semi-automatic 10mm pistols like the Glock 20 or 1911?
Barnes VOR-TX ammunition is loaded to consistent, reliable pressures and is designed to cycle properly in standard semi-automatic 10mm pistols, including popular platforms like the Glock 20, EAA Witness, and 10mm 1911-style pistols. As with any premium ammunition, it is always a good idea to test a box through your specific firearm before relying on it for hunting or carry.
Is Barnes VOR-TX 10mm compliant with California's lead-free ammunition laws?
Yes. The Barnes XPB bullet is constructed entirely of copper with no lead core, making this load compliant with California's Condor Zone regulations and the statewide lead-free centerfire ammunition requirements that apply to hunting. It is a trusted choice for California hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who need a non-toxic, high-performance option.
