Barnes VOR-TX 6.5 Grendel Ammo 115 Grain Barnes TTSX Boat Tail - BB65GR1
Barnes VOR-TX 6.5 Grendel ammunition delivers a lead-free hunting load built around the proven TTSX bullet design. This 115 grain projectile expands reliably through a wide impact window while maintaining deep penetration for medium-game applications. The all-copper construction supports high weight retention that benefits hunters who want consistent terminal behavior. A boat-tail profile helps the bullet maintain stability through extended distances by reducing drag in flight. The load achieves precise accuracy through a combination of premium components and Barnes’ controlled-expansion engineering. A ballistic coefficient of .387 supports downrange consistency for field use. Bulk case orders of this 6.5 Grendel ammo ship free through Target Sports USA.

Deep Dive
Overview
This cartridge is built for hunters who need dependable 6.5 Grendel hunting ammo for medium-game applications. The TTSX bullet expands into multiple cutting petals that aid in controlled energy transfer at field-appropriate distances. Its all-copper construction supports high weight retention to promote consistent penetration through typical medium-game body structures. The boat-tail profile reduces drag to help maintain accuracy across practical hunting ranges. Shooters who require lead-free ammunition may find this load appropriate for regulated areas.
History and Development
Barnes developed the TTSX line to provide a monolithic bullet with rapid expansion characteristics that remain stable through varied impact speeds. The VOR-TX series builds on this design with factory-loaded ammunition that mirrors the precision of high-quality handloads. The TTSX bullet uses a polymer tip to initiate expansion while maintaining structural integrity during penetration. Barnes continues to refine this lead-free technology for hunters who want reliability in modern sporting rifle platforms.
