Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition suitable for deer hunting with a .357 Magnum revolver?

Absolutely. The Barnes VOR-TX 140 Grain XPB is specifically designed for handgun hunting applications. The all-copper XPB bullet achieves rapid double-diameter expansion while retaining virtually 100% of its weight, ensuring deep, reliable penetration through bone and tissue — making it highly effective on whitetail deer, feral hogs, and similar-sized game at appropriate handgun hunting distances.

Can I use this ammo in a .357 Magnum lever-action rifle?

Yes. Barnes VOR-TX 357 Magnum ammunition is compatible with both revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered in .357 Magnum. When fired from a longer rifle barrel, you can expect higher muzzle velocity and even greater energy than the listed handgun figures, extending your effective hunting range and terminal performance.

Why is lead-free ammunition important, and does it affect performance?

Lead-free ammunition is required for hunting on California's public lands and is encouraged statewide to protect wildlife and reduce environmental impact. Barnes XPB bullets use a solid copper construction that actually outperforms many lead-core designs — the all-copper body retains weight more consistently, penetrates deeper, and expands more reliably than traditional lead-core hollow points, so you lose nothing in terminal performance by going lead-free.
