Has Barnes come out with a new bullet? MR-X?
« on: November 01, 2005, 08:00:41 AM »
Someone told me Barnes  is coming out with a new slug.  Like a triple shock but having a heavier than lead (tungsten) insert in the back end, and a polymer tip.  Are they available or is it just in the design faze?  I can see why they would try to do this, it sure would shorten up those triple shocks.

Not yet, next spring, should cost about $.75 each, according to Barnes. There's a multi-page article by Dave Scovill on it in the November Rifle magazine.
