Description

Barnes VOR-TX LR 7mm PRC 160gr ammunition pairs one of the newest long range hunting cartridges with Barnes’ premium all-copper LRX bullet. The 160 grain LRX Boat Tail carries a high G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.608 and leaves the muzzle at a rated 3050 feet per second with about 3306 foot-pounds of energy. According to Barnes, it still carries more than 2300 feet per second and nearly 1900 foot-pounds at 500 yards, which is the kind of downrange authority elk and big mule deer demand.

Long range hunting demands more than a flat-shooting cartridge. Practice from field positions, build a verified drop chart and understand how wind affects your bullet at each distance. Many experienced hunters set a personal maximum range based on how consistently they can hit a vital-size target under field conditions.

Copper bullets are typically longer than lead-core bullets of the same weight, so confirm your rifle’s twist rate stabilizes this load and check accuracy at 100 and 200 yards before heading into the field.

A Long Range Elk Load Built on Copper

An all copper LRX bullet is designed to open reliably at the lower impact velocities found at longer range, while still holding together on close shots. Because there is no lead core, it retains nearly all of its weight and penetrates deeply, which is exactly what you want from a long range elk load when the shot angle is not perfect.

The 7mm PRC was designed from the start around long, high-BC bullets and modern fast-twist barrels. Pairing it with a premium copper bullet built for distance takes full advantage of the cartridge’s design.

Barnes has built bullets in Mona, Utah since 1932 and pioneered the all-copper hunting bullet. Its factory ammunition is loaded to the same exacting standards as its component bullets, so you get consistent velocities and tight groups from box to box.

Elk, mule deer, sheep and big whitetail hunters who carry a rifle chambered in 7mm PRC will get the most from this load. Recoil is stout, so a muzzle brake, suppressor or good recoil pad helps with long range shooting. Always confirm your rifle is chambered for 7mm PRC, verify your zero with the same lot you plan to use, and follow all federal, state and local regulations.

Store this ammunition in a cool, dry place in the original box so the lot number stays with it. Before the season or match, shoot groups at 100 yards and confirm your drops at longer distances using the Barnes ballistics above as a starting point, since your rifle’s actual velocity may differ.
