Description

This lot consists of two original boxes of Barnes VOR-TX LR Long Range ammunition, containing a verified total of 40 centerfire rifle cartridges chambered in .338 Remington Ultra Magnum. Each cartridge is loaded with a 250-grain Long Range X (LRX) Boat-Tail bullet, featuring an all-copper construction and a blue polymer tip designed for rapid expansion and high ballistic coefficients. The cartridges utilize nickel-plated cases for improved corrosion resistance and cycling. The packaging provides extensive ballistic data, citing a muzzle velocity of 2,910 FPS and muzzle energy of 4,702 ft-lbs at sea level. Key markings on the box include the manufacturer name, caliber designation 338 REM ULTRA MAG, bullet type 250 GR LRX BT, and product code 29061. The headstamps on the nickel-plated cases are marked R-P 338 RUM. The back of the boxes illustrates terminal performance through ballistic gelatin cross-sections and bullet design features such as the Accu-Groove technology.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in excellent, live condition with no signs of corrosion or oxidation on the nickel-plated cases or copper projectiles. The blue polymer tips are intact. The original cardboard packaging shows minor shelf wear, including slight creasing at the corners and edges. One box has been opened for inspection, while the other remains factory-sealed or closed.
