Key Features
Projectile Design
The Barnes VOR-TX 12 Gauge 3″ slugs integrate a 438-grain lead-free projectile, meticulously engineered for reliable energy transfer on target. This design prioritizes deep penetration and controlled expansion, critical attributes for the ethical harvesting of medium to large game.
Terminal Performance
These magnum-load hunting ammunition rounds are configured for demanding applications requiring consistent terminal performance. The 3-inch shell length contributes to optimized velocity and downrange energy, exceeding the performance envelope of many standard 12-gauge offerings. This translates to enhanced impact force and effective tissue disruption.
Ballistic Consistency
Barnes’ manufacturing protocols ensure stringent quality control, yielding consistent ballistics across production batches. This precision translates to predictable flight paths and repeatable point-of-impact, facilitating accurate shot placement at relevant distances.
Application Versatility
Optimized primarily for hunting, these shotgun shells also demonstrate utility for precision zeroing procedures at the range. Furthermore, their terminal characteristics position them as a viable option for specific personal defense firearms applications, provided legal permissibility is confirmed by the end-user. Responsible firearm stewardship, including routine maintenance with appropriate gun cleaning supplies, is essential for preserving long-term system reliability.
