Who This Is For
This ammunition is ideal for varmint hunters, predator callers, and deer hunters in states with lead-free requirements — including California — who need a .223 Remington load that combines explosive expansion with deep, reliable penetration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Barnes VOR-TX .223 55-grain TSX FB legal for hunting in California?
Yes. The Barnes TSX Flat Base is a 100% copper, lead-free projectile, making it fully compliant with California's mandatory lead-free hunting regulations. It is approved for use in all California hunting zones where non-lead ammunition is required, so hunters can use it with complete confidence across the state.
What game is the .223 Remington 55-grain TSX FB suitable for hunting?
This load is well-suited for varmints, predators such as coyote and fox, and smaller deer-sized game at appropriate ranges. The TSX's rapid four-petal expansion and near-100% weight retention deliver reliable terminal performance on thin-skinned game. For larger deer, ethical shot placement and range awareness remain important considerations with .223 Remington.
How does the TSX Flat Base differ from the Tipped TSX (TTSX)?
The TSX Flat Base features an open polymer-free hollow point that initiates expansion immediately upon contact, while the Tipped TSX (TTSX) adds a polymer tip that enhances ballistic coefficient and can improve long-range accuracy and retained velocity. The TSX FB is an excellent choice for shorter to moderate ranges where its slightly lower BC is not a limiting factor, and many hunters prefer its proven, straightforward design.
