Has anyone saw or tried the new Barnes Vor-tx loaded ammo for the Grendel yet? Says it uses a 115 gr ttsx bullet. I couldn't find a 115 grain bullet listed in their components for 6.5 caliber, only the 100 and 120 that they have had for a while. I'm wondering if that bullet is only available in loaded ammo and if it's designed to open at the lower velocities of the Grendel?

Haven't even heard they was bringing out grendel ammo.
Got a link to where you seen it? -
So found it on their website. Says it's loaded with a 115 grain ttsx bullet.
So they cut a custom weight ttsx for their load. Hopefully they gave it the LRX treatment and lowered the expansion limit to around 1600 fps.
Hopefully it will be available for less then 30 bucks a box of 20 rounds.Comment

It's on Barnes's website under ammunition then Vor-tx rifle ammoComment

The 115 grain is under the TAC-TX components section. The Load data has not been posted for the Grendel on Barns website.Last edited by Labrat198; 11-12-2019, 01:47 PM.Comment

Their website lists it as a 115 grain ttsx in their vor-tex load.Originally posted by Labrat198 View PostComment

As far as I can tell the TTSX and TAC-TX bullets are the same except for the picture on the package.Comment

This I am very interested in. The Barnes stuff has been wicked accurate in my 556 ARs.Comment

pretty much. Seems to me even Barnes is not quite sure what they've got, no BC, no ammo info, no bullet info. Lol. Could be a good one for the Grrr.Originally posted by Mitdr774 View Post"Down the floor, out the door, Go Brandon Go!!!!!"Comment

Barnes has a 6.5mm 100 TTSX and a 120 TTSX. Rather than a 115 TTSX, I would have gone with a 110 TTSX if they're going to load it in Grendel. Those solid copper bullets take up a lot of powder room the Grendel doesn't have to spare.
Sometimes I tell myself to just pretend that these people know what they're doing and try not to look a gift horse in the mouth!:: 6.5 GRENDEL Deer and Targets :: 6mmARC Targets and Varmints and Deer :: 22 ARC Varmints and Targets

If they would have happened to put the LRX Cooper treatment to this 115 grain bullet it should be a winner.Originally posted by BluntForceTrauma View Post
I'm not going to buy their ammo due to price per box, knowing Barnes it's going to be high.
But if they sell it as a loading component and it has the same anneling treatment the LRX bullets have it might be something nice.Comment

I used the 120gr and gave up on it. It would drive tacks but unless it hit bone it was a small hole in and out. I had a lung shot doe bed up in a location I could watch her but not get a second shot........it took almost an hour for her to finally expire. I was afraid if I moved I would jump her out of her bed, so I just watched he bedded up and while she was not in pain I still did not like it.Originally posted by A5BLASTER View Post
I moved back to 120gr NBT and never looked back. Consistent performance at grendel velocities.Comment

You kind of missed the whole point of my post sir.Originally posted by outbreaker View Post
See my comment about the LRX copper treatment.Comment

If it's a tipped version, which it seems to be, then it supposedly would open up down to 1800 ft/s...
Me, I'd limit myself to mid-2100's 'cause I want some margin.
To echo BFT a 110 ttsx would be the absolute way to go... but,,,,,,,
maybe they have some "military intel" guys working for them lol!"Down the floor, out the door, Go Brandon Go!!!!!"Comment
