To people like us it certainly would be but we're only about 1-5% of the market at most.Wouldn't it be well worth the extra money. Think about all the expenses we occur for a quality hunting trip. The cost of the bullet shouldn't be the deciding factor. $8000 hunt and a $1.25 bullet???
Trying to get a bullet made in such a matter to stabilize would probably be next to impossible because of the substantially different sectional density between the front and rear ends. It's tough enough to make a stable long nosed bullet with a lead core to begin with.What about flipping the design of the Federal TLR or Trophy Bonded bullets? What I mean is an all copper front portion, that expands at low velocities like a Barnes LRX, down to a partition that separate it from the remain lead filled portion of the bullet? Lead would help keep the length down for standard bullet weights as compared to an all mono design. Not sure how well it would work from a stability standpoint with lead in the back?
They did it with the FailSafe, no?Trying to get a bullet made in such a matter to stabilize would probably be next to impossible because of the substantially different sectional density between the front and rear ends.

Not really, that may be why the failsafe had such a terrible BC.They did it with the FailSafe, no?
Owhy did the MRX by Barnes get canceled?
You'd have to ask Barnes to be sure but I think it had to do with them shooting terribly and not selling.why did the MRX by Barnes get canceled?
I would think the mrx died due to the cost. I don't think too many were willing to pay the premium for it. It might have survived if it was released now, and it had a higher BC.O

I read this a little too late. I bought some ABLR for a 28 nosler to hunt white tail with. Wanted a bonding round that wouldn't destroy any meat. Should have just got regular AB. $200 for 2 boxes
