BARNES VOR-TX - 270 WIN - 130 GR - TTSX BT - 20 RDS/BOX
The Barnes VOR-TX 270 Winchester 130 Grain TTSX Boat Tail delivers factory-loaded precision that rivals the best handloads on the market, built around Barnes' legendary all-copper Tipped TSX bullet for devastating, reliable terminal performance on big game.
- 130-grain TTSX BT bullet exits at a blazing 3,060 feet per second muzzle velocity
- Double-diameter expansion creates a massive, bone-crushing wound channel on impact
- Nose peels back into four sharp copper petals for instant, reliable expansion
- Retains nearly 100% of original weight for deep, straight penetration on large game
- Multiple relief grooves reduce barrel pressure and deliver exceptional accuracy
- 100% lead-free construction — compliant for hunting in lead-restricted zones including California
Who This Is For
This ammunition is ideal for deer, elk, pronghorn, and black bear hunters who demand consistent, ethical kills at a range of distances. The 270 Win TTSX BT is especially well-suited for hunters in California and other states requiring non-toxic, lead-free ammunition, and for anyone who wants match-grade consistency from a factory-loaded round without the time investment of handloading.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the TTSX bullet different from a standard TSX bullet?
The Tipped TSX (TTSX) adds a polymer tip to the proven all-copper TSX design. This tip initiates faster, more consistent expansion at a wider range of velocities and impact distances, while also improving the bullet's ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory and better long-range performance compared to the standard TSX.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting deer and elk in California?
Yes. California requires the use of non-lead (lead-free) ammunition for all hunting statewide, and the Barnes VOR-TX TTSX is 100% lead-free, making it fully compliant. Its deep penetration and near-100% weight retention also make it an excellent choice for larger animals like elk, where reaching vital organs through heavy bone and muscle is critical.
What rifles and barrel twist rates work best with this 130-grain 270 Win load?
This load is optimized for standard 270 Winchester chambers found in bolt-action rifles from manufacturers like Remington, Ruger, Winchester, and Browning. Most 270 Win rifles feature a 1:10" twist rate, which stabilizes 130-grain projectiles excellently. Because the all-copper TTSX bullet is slightly longer than a lead-core bullet of the same weight, it is seated to Barnes' recommended specifications to ensure safe and reliable function across compatible platforms.
