Description
Barnes VOR-TX .338 Lapua Magnum 280 Grain LRX Boat Tail Ammo – 500 Rounds
Barnes VOR-TX .338 Lapua Magnum 280 Grain LRX Boat Tail is a hunting-oriented load built for shooters who want dependable performance on large game at serious distances. It’s designed to be used in real field conditions where penetration, expansion, and consistency actually matter—not just paper groups.
The 500-round case gives you enough ammunition for both practice and hunting use while staying consistent with a single, proven load.
Built for Hard-Hitting Performance
The 280 grain LRX Boat Tail is an all-copper bullet, which means it doesn’t rely on a lead core. Instead, it’s engineered to hold together on impact, even when it hits heavy bone or dense tissue.
That construction helps it penetrate deeply and transfer energy efficiently, which is what you want when hunting larger animals.
Reliable Expansion at Distance
One of the strengths of the LRX design is that it expands consistently even when velocity drops at longer ranges. At closer distances, it opens up quickly for strong impact. Farther out, it still expands without losing its structure.
That balance makes it useful across a wide range of hunting distances without becoming unpredictable.
