5 P I ONEER ING T HE W OR L D S MOS T EF F EC T I V E A L L- C OP P ER HUN T ING BUL L E T. On a cold, rainy Alaskan evening in 1986, Randy Brooks put the first hand-made protos of his all-copper hunting bullet to the ultimate test. Up to then, his idea for an all-copper hunting bullet was only a theory. Breaking both shoulders of an Alaskan brown bear, dropping it where it stood, made it an absolute fact. Through 30 years of technological advancement since its introduction in 1989, the X Bullet s near 100-percent weight retention and razor-sharp four-petal deployment easily out-penetrated projectiles formed with two metals. The next version, the XLC featured a dry film lubricating In 2011, Barnes introduced the LRX, designed for coating designed to decrease fouling and improve consistent terminal results at close and long range, velocity and accuracy. Introduced in 2003, the TSX with bullet shape and configuration optimized for each Bullet incorporated horizontal grooves along the caliber. Introduced in 2017, Barnes VOR-TX LR takes all circumference of the bullet, which eliminated the need the advanced engineering of LRX to our highest level of for a dry lubricating film. These grooves also provided a downrange effectiveness. It delivers identical results up place for copper displaced by the rifling to resettle. close and out to 700 yards and beyond with unmatched The Barnes TTSX added a blue polymer tip to the proven X Bullet equation. This tip raised the ballistic coefficient precision. It s the pinnacle of Barnes all-copper domination in its most accurate and lethal form yet. for improved flight characteristics and acted as a wedge to promote full expansion and energy transfer. 5

VOR-TX LR (Long Range) Ammunition is introduced at the 2017 NRA Convention in Atlanta, Georgia The LRX (Long-Range X Bullet) is introduced VOR-TX Euro Ammunition is launched offering all-copper Barnes TSX & TTSX bullets in loads that cater to European countries In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the X Bullet, Randy Brooks and his daughter Jessica Brooks-Stevens traveled back to Alaska where he takes his largest bear ever (10 8 Brown bear) with proto VOR-TX LR ammunition. Jessica takes a Brown bear of her own with a vintage 375 caliber X Bullet handload. 7

14 AMMO REVIEW: BARNES BULLETS VOR-TX LR, RIFLE 6.5 CREEDMOOR BY DAN Z IMMERMAN: T HE T RU T H A BOU T GUNS.COM 3/18 Reader David Parrish writes: The 6.5 Creedmoor has gained a lot of converts over the last couple of years and it s easy to see why. It promises light recoil and long-range accuracy out to 1000 yards and beyond with minimal investment. The people at Barnes have been very helpful series of shots made from the bench. The through the field testing and evaluation rifles used in this volley of hellfire included a process.

I intended to Desert Tech SRS-A1. run 100-yard groups through various rifles as well as doing some long-range hunting. I realize long range means different things to different people. For me, that s 500 yards and up. Barnes agreed and sent me several boxes of box-fresh VOR-TX LR Rifle ammo for some real world shooting. I chose the Kian Vista Ranch in Lometa, Texas for my testing. With steel and paper targets out to two miles, I knew I d have no problem stretching the limits of these rounds, the 14 I used a LabRadar chronograph to record the Finally, to take as much of the human parts out of this equation I used a TargetShooting. com Model 1000LP Rifle rest.

18 THE BULLET IS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE PART OF THE HUNT. DON T COMPROMISE. Barnes all-copper bullets expand rapidly, dump more energy and penetrate deeper than any lead-core bullet available. Why the difference in penetration? It s simple. A lead-core bullet mushrooms into a solid mass, creating a lot of resistance.

QUALITY. PRECISION. Manufacturers of match-grade ammunition market these important qualities to shooters. Do their products really go beyond the standard and live up to these claims? The Barnes Ballistics Laboratory and Research & Development departments regularly perform competitive analysis on projectiles and ammunition. As Barnes prepared to introduce a new Precision Match load in 260 Remington, a competitive analysis revealed the results in the graph above. Temperature sensitive powders are vulnerable to pressure changes. This typically leads to a shift in velocity which affects accuracy and/or point of impact. Say a rifle is sighted in at a temperature of 50 degrees. The shooter attends a competition where the temperature is 85 degrees and the ammunition is exposed to the hot sun. The projectile s point of impact will most certainly shift. The greater the distance, the larger the margin of error. All things to consider whether you re a hunter, competitive shooter or out shooting targets. Use the best and experience success.

39 R A N G E A R M AT C H / R A N G E / TA R G E T PERFECTLY SUITED FOR MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS. Barnes lead-free MPGs are ideal for shooting steel targets, competition, plinking, varmint hunting and home defense. MPG - MULTI-PURPOSE GREEN: MPG technology was developed for military and law enforcement applications. This bullet design features a highly frangible, powdered-metal copper-tin core inside a guilding metal jacket. Unlike frangible bullets lacking a protective jacket, MPG bullets remain intact under the rigors of handling, feeding and firing in high capacity magazines. This eliminates the primary cause of jammed actions and plugged barrels often experienced when firing frangible ammunition in modern AR-style rifles.

Taking the time to ensure your sizing die is properly set up to produce cases with concentric necks will be worthwhile. A concentricity gauge will confirm that your finished ammunition is within a thousandth of an inch of perfect concentricity. 223 CALIBER MPG 6.8MM mpg fb 55 gr 30195* 30 CALIBER mpg fb 85 gr X 39MM mpg fb 150 gr mpg fb 108 gr

When cleaning a rifle, angle the muzzle downward and use a bore guide. This ensures solvents, crud, and grime won t drip or run through the action, gumming up the trigger and possibly damaging the bedding. One-piece, coated cleaning rods are recommended. Mount the firearm in a vise. Use a rag for padding and a container under the muzzle to catch the solvents and patches. Select the proper cleaning rod based on the caliber. Use the proper jag and a tight-fitting patch soaked with Barnes CR-10 Bore Cleaner to remove the powder fouling. Use 2-4 patches and push each patch completely through the bore with one long stroke. Install the proper size cleaning brush, soak with CR-10 and stroke the bore times. Push brush completely through the bore prior to reversing direction. Add CR-10 to brush while at muzzle end of barrel half way through the process. Clean the brush after the process is complete with a blast of non-chlorinated brake cleaner or equivalent. Use proper size jag and Barnes CR-10 soaked patches until no discoloration is left on the patches. NOTE: The first two patches through the barrel after brushing should be pushed completely through the barrel in one long stroke. The patches will be blue and dirty from the loose copper residue from brushing. The remaining patches should be short stroked through the barrel a few inches at a time until there is minimal blue coloration on the patch. Examine muzzle and throat area for any signs of copper fouling. If copper fouling is still visible, repeat above process. Push 2-4 patches soaked with brake cleaner through the barrel with one long stroke for each patch. Clean inside chamber with a dry patch. Lube the bolt lugs with bolt grease and clean out the lug recesses. Also, apply a small amount of grease to the bolt handle & cocking piece camming surfaces on the bolt. Coat the bore with a light coat of oil then run one dry patch through the bore. 41
