Frequently Asked Questions
Is Barnes VOR-TX 300 Win Mag legal to use for hunting in California?
Yes. The Barnes VOR-TX 165 TTSX is 100% lead-free, making it fully compliant with California's mandatory non-lead ammunition regulations for hunting on all lands in the state. The all-copper TTSX bullet leaves no lead fragments in game meat or gut piles, making it an excellent choice for both compliance and ethical hunting.
What kind of game is the 300 Win Mag 165 TTSX best suited for?
This load excels on medium to large North American big game, including elk, mule deer, whitetail, black bear, and pronghorn. The 165-grain TTSX offers a flat-shooting trajectory and outstanding terminal performance at distances from close range out to 400+ yards, making it versatile for both dense timber and open-country hunting.
How does the TTSX bullet differ from the standard TSX?
The Tipped TSX (TTSX) features a polymer tip inserted into the hollow point cavity of the standard TSX. This tip serves two purposes: it initiates expansion more rapidly and consistently — especially at lower impact velocities — and it improves the bullet's ballistic coefficient for a flatter, more accurate flight path at longer ranges. Both bullets are all-copper and lead-free, but the TTSX offers an edge in long-range performance.
