Barnes VOR-TX 9mm ammunition pairs proven stopping performance with the controlled aggression serious handgun hunters and defensive shooters demand. Built around Barnes' XPB bullet design, this 115-grain load brings the kind of terminal reliability that matters when a shot has to count. Whether you're hunting medium game or training with purpose, VOR-TX delivers the penetration and expansion characteristics that have made Barnes a trusted name in precision ammunition for decades.

The XPB bullet's all-copper construction means no fragmentation and maximum weight retention—the bullet stays intact and does its job from entry to exit. When that bullet impacts, the nose peels back into six sharp-edged petals that cut deep through tissue and bone while maintaining energy transfer you can depend on. Expansion happens on contact, no delay, no guesswork. That's the kind of performance geometry that separates premium ammunition from the commodity stuff.

Each box contains 20 rounds, and cases are packaged with 200 rounds total (ten boxes), so whether you're stocking up for the season or building your handgun battery, Barnes makes it easy to keep consistent, quality ammunition on hand. 9mm shooters who prioritize terminal performance over novelty will appreciate VOR-TX's straightforward engineering and track record in the field.
