I gave up Vor-tx after they changed up their velocities on a particular ammo. When I called to inquire about it after a supposed "checking into it" not even Barnes themselves had an answer. Their website, literature, and all their vendors are miss advertising the stated velocities vs. what is stamped on the box and seen through the chrono. Best they could do was blame it on Remington (Who is loading a lot of their ammo while they work on upping in house production.). That and the huge variances in velocity, the boxes with damaged ammo, the sideways primers,,,There is much better factory options out there.

I have 4 boxes of the suspect 300 Weatherby ammo and I've tried calling the number in the recall notice numerous times. So far no response and its been over a month since I called. I recorded sub 3000 fps readings on my chronograph before the recall so I didn't use it to hunt. I'm wondering if a refund or exchange is in order since there is no mention of what will happen in the recall notice. Any info would be appreciated.

It says right in that recall that they will pay for you to send it back to them and then will replace that ammo with new stuff at their expense!
