As heavy as tungsten is,if it was a hair off center the vibration at 300,000 RPM would be a lot. On the other hand,have you ever...

The Speer African Grand Slam solids had a tungsten core. I used those in a 458 Win Mag probably 20 years ago. Accuracy was within reason...

The Hornaday ELD-VT are heavy in the rear. They require more twist than similar weight V-max. Maybe that's all due to the longer length...

Balance seems an issue, they functioned like TTSX, at the ranges they would have been an advantage the accuracy wasn't there and price...

Eh, the football shape (prolate spheroid) helps with aerodynamics and stability, but if only the core went from traditional shape to the...

I'm sure it didn't help. They claimed not cost effective, but that sounds better than "they sucked" lol. Anytime you introduce variables...

If I remember right, accuracy was horrible is why they scrapped them?

Its the MRX

You mean like this? It became an issue of cost effectiveness. It was scrapped because it seemed to be a better financial decision to...

The tungsten core, being so heavy, might just punch through the copper upon impact. Now not just a fragmenting nose but the whole copper...

Might cost the same but I doubt it would be as accurate with the two metals.

Tungsten waterfowl shells are about $4/ea for a 1 1/4 to 1 3/8 Oz payload. If even half of that cost is in Tungsten, that makes it...

Look at the cost of tungsten vs steel vs lead shotgun shells

I think that Barnes experimented with that years ago. I don’t know if it just didn’t catch on or it had issues! Then again…..maybe I...

Didn't Barnes make a bullet with a similar concept at one point? Just looked it up, check out the Barnes MRX.
