I just tried some 270 Win 130 gr TTSX Vor-TX ammo and it was outstanding.

Avg Vel was 3044 fps, with only 16 fps ES,
and shot nice 1" moa groups.

I got it directly from Barnes to field test for them. Going to take some to Namibia next year also. By then we hope to have 300 Win Mag and 338 Mag ammo too.

There are about a dozen calibers in stock at our local Sportsmans Warehouse.

It was just released in August and the big standards were first, 300 RUM might take a minute. Midway has the usual, and Gander Mountain just got it in as well. Damn its pricey though, actually a bit more expensive then Nosler Custom and that stuff is supposed to be as good as handloads accuracy wise


If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter!

My .338 WM loves it. Bought a case. I was able to get five boxes from Cabelas, and five more from Cheaper than Dirt. Hope this helps.

I also found it a the Lacey Cabela's on two occasions two weeks apart. While some popular calibers were not on the shelves, I purchased it in .30-06 (150 gr and 180 gr) and .300 Win Mag (165gr and 180gr).

My .300 Win Mag Rem 700 was accurized by Hill Country Rifles a few years ago and both VOR-TX loads printed half MOA groups on top of each other at 100 yds from the bench a couple of weeks back. I did not chronograph the ammo, but, with those results, I just ordered my two free elevation dials from Leupold for my new VX-3 CDS. In a few weeks I'll get data out to 300 yds. A couple of weeks after that I'll try both loads on a Texas whitetail and hog hunt.
