The
Barnes VOR-TX Expander Tipped Slug 12 Gauge 2-3/4 Inch 438 Grain brings Barnes' proven all-copper hunting bullet technology to the shotgun platform. Designed for hunters seeking controlled expansion, deep penetration, and high weight retention, this premium slug load delivers rifle-like ballistic performance from a properly matched shotgun.
All-Copper Expander Projectile: The 438-grain Barnes Expander features a lead-free copper projectile engineered to expand while retaining much of its original weight. Its design combines an expanding frontal profile with the penetration characteristics that have made Barnes hunting bullets popular among big-game hunters.
Polymer-Tipped Design: The aerodynamic polymer tip contributes to the projectile's ballistic profile and assists expansion on impact. Combined with the all-copper construction, it provides an effective hunting bullet design for deer and other appropriately sized game.
1,450 FPS Muzzle Velocity: Barnes loads this 2-3/4-inch 12-gauge cartridge to a published muzzle velocity of 1,450 feet per second, with approximately 2,042 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. Its ballistic design helps provide useful velocity retention and predictable trajectory for a shotgun hunting load.
Built for Shotgun Deer Hunting: The Expander Tipped Slug is intended for hunters using shotguns in areas or seasons where slug ammunition is appropriate. Its combination of expansion, penetration, and precision-oriented projectile construction makes it well suited to deliberate big-game hunting applications.
Five-Round Hunting Package: Each box contains five premium Barnes VOR-TX Expander Tipped Slug cartridges, allowing hunters to maintain a consistent ammunition selection for sight verification and hunting use.
