Default Barnes MRX bullets

Anyone heard much about these? Look pretty interesting. Should be a great bullet for deer and larger game.

This is the first I have heard of these. It looks like a good addition to their already fine line of bullets. It keeps getting better for us hunters.

I am sure they are an excelent bullet but they cost about 2 times what a TSX costs.

Federal will be loading the 180 grain in .308, 30-06, 300 win mag, and 300 WSM. A box of 30-06 is going to be aproaching $50 with these bullets and 300 WSM will be about $65. [:'(]

I doubt they'll sell many at that price. I can't see why anyone would pay those prices. I suspect they'll have to drop their prices in order to sell very many, especially the price of the bullets alone. No way I'm spending $30 for a box of 20 to handload. I mean they look cool and I like the idea behind them but Accubonds are only $17 for a box of 50 and will probably work about as well.
