I would like to see you come out with a .375 250 grain MRX
I would like to see lead free round balls for california ML hunting.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A TIPPED 375 GR 52 CALIBER BULLET FOR THE KNIGHT MUZZLELOADER
I am a fan of the 375 Winchester round. would love to see a 250 grain and a 275 grain flat nose with or with out lead for this round.
A 150-175 grain flat nose would work too.
I would like to see the .358 cal. 225 gr. made with a boattail. And return the .358 cal. 250 gr. spitzer & solid . Return the 358 S.T.A., 250 Savage and 22 Hornet reloadind data.
I would like to see a 220gr MRX bullet in 30 cal.
I’d like to see a 180-185 gr. spitzer solid boat tail for long range precision shooting, and a 200-220 gr. banded solid flat point for deep penetration on large and/or dangerous game.
A 7mm 154-160 gr. BT spitzer solid would be great for long range precision shooting too.
I would like to see a 100 gr spitzer/boat tail for the .243. Something like the old X bullet again.
I would like to see a MRX bullet in 8mm especially in the 150-170 gr range. It would make the 8mm’s (including the 325 WSM) more of a multi-purpose gun versus being more usefull on elk and larger or dangerous game.
I totally appriciate the new bullet for the 8mm – Tipped TSX 160gr. It is a great addition for those wth 8mm’s. It may become my bullet of choice for pronghorn antelope, deer, and cow elk at longer ranges.
A 8mm MRX around 220 gr would really bring out the full potential of the 8mm Rem Mag, Plus it might be short enough to increase the preformance of the 325 WSM as the bullet would take up less case volume.
i would like to see a 257 weatherby barnes-tsx or x-bullet in a 117 grain option, here in laredo, in deep southwest texas the thick brush is unforgiving and a little heaver bullet can really make a huge difference in recovering your trophy of a lifetime.
i would like to see you guy<s and gal<s put an 105 or an 107 grain bullet on the market for 1in 8 twist 243 long range shooter and hunting rifle it makes good sence thanks for all that you all have done to keep us shooters alive KEN
i would like to see a 50 grain 22-250 load and a 150grain 7mm
Since the .257 TTSX was too long to function in standard twist barrels once the weight got over 100 grains, I’d like to see a 115-120 grain MRX bullet in .257 caliber.
WITH ALL MY YEARS OF HUNTING AND RELOADING I ALWAYS HESITATED TO PURCHASE YOUR BULLETS BECAUSE OF THE PRICE AND ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WOULD PUNCH RIGHT THROUGH WITHOUT EXPANSION. WAS I WRONG. I FEEL YOUR BULLETS ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY TO ANYONE WHO RELOADS AND WANTS PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY, SERIOUS ABOUT HUNTING. I DID MY OWN PROVEN TESTS AGAINST OTHER TOP BRANDS AND YOUR WAS THE WINNER ALL THE WAY. AFTER 45 YEARS NOW I KNOW. YOU’RE GOOD, YOU, YOU’RE GOOD !
I have a tikka 270wsm and reloaded a lot of bullets and got lots of groups in the 3/4″-1″ range at 100yds. I was not happy with this so I tried 130g TTSX and my god do they shot good out of my gun, Made up some loads of 62g 0f IMR 4350 and put 8 of them in 7/16″ and it constantly shoots cloverleaf groups. 1 shot has killed every thing I have shot at. Thanks alot Barnes for a very accurate bullet.
NEED! 100 grain TSX for my 240 Weath…. Soon please
Txs

I moved to WA from Ak bringing my Alaskan rifles with me, 338win, 375h&h, 45-70, 8mm rem mag, etc.
I love to use my safri-grade Remingtion 375 h&h for the deer/elk here, but the 300gr sbt is a bit much on the game. I would like to see maybe a 200gr that would shoot well. I have tried the 232gr and it was terrable, ditto the 270gr
hoping you hurry with a 323 ttsx in 180. 160 has not been enough for bigger elk. save me before i have to go to nosler e-tip to get 180 grain bullett. ill take mrx 180 anything help and hurry
I would like to see you come out with Round nose bullets in both tsx and slid banded bullets. I shoot 243 win 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm.
I would like to see Barnes come out with some Competition Bullets in .308 Cal,168,175,190,210,220,and225 Grain.Also some in maybe in .224 Cal this would be worth thinking about.
Please bring back the 90 gr. x bullet for the .257 caliber. My 257 Roberts loves those bullets.
I would love to see a 95-105 grain .243 bullet for deer hunting. I have a few of the 90g XBT’s left from several years ago and love them. I have shot many 1/4″ groups with them loaded in front of AA4350 out of my 18″ bbl Rem 788.
need 175 grain 7mm solid bullet. I hunt ak.solo,my catridge 284 win hand loads.
Please, please, pleasssseee come out with a heavier, boat-tailed 6.5 -cal bullet! Love the 120 TSX and at lower velocities the 120 TTSX, and at shorter ranges the 130 TSX FB, but for 2 years your techs have had me on the edge of my seat waiting on a 135-ish or 140-grain MRX or LRX with better BCs! Guys, the suspense is killing me here up in the NW! Help a fellow hunter out
6.5 seems to be ever-increasing in popularity and more and more propellants would allow the longer projectile to tolerate being stuffed farther into cartridges such as the 6.5-.284 (though many put that into a long action anyway) and the 6.5×55 would love it as well! Give us something to compete with all those guys that love those 140s for their high BC #s please! Other than that, thanks for a wonderful product, they proved themselves again this year on deer and bear – thanks Barnes!
Would like to see you come out with 375 Cal. in 235 Gr & 250 Gr. TTSX BT.
I would like to see you offer more in the 8mm for the 325wsm. And i’ve heard of the Alliant Re15,is this the RL15 thats on your reloading chart.
Jag vill ha en Barnes MRX 900grain i 620 caliber
I was hoping to see a 95 gr. TTSX bullet in the future for longer range shooting/hunting. the 80 gr TTSX gets grabbed by the wind around 300 yds. also wondering what the BC and SD would be on such a round.
Hey, Barnes- looks like more people than myself are asking to expand the MRX line which I’ve asked about over the last several years. Yes, they are more expensive to make but I have no problem paying that and I am sure most enuthiasists and serious shooters won’t either. Now that your owned by a “bigger” company maybe it can become a reality. Look forward to the additions to your MRX line.
i would like to see a 180 for 7mm i really like barns bullets been shooting deer and elk in my 308 with barns bullets
I also am looking for Barnes to come out with a 130 grain boat tail LRX in .264 (6.5) as most custom barrels know have 1 in 8″ or 1 in 8.5″ in twists and are able to stabilize a long high BC bullet. The 130 gr LRX BT would be an absolutely fantastic bullet having a high BC giving an all around hunting bullet for long distance shooting ! At present I have shot a three shot group with the 120 TTSX BT at 100 yds measuring .111 and a 3 shot group with the 130 TSX FB of .334 as testimony that these bullets are extremely accurate. !! A 6.5 130 LRX BT would be awesome for the popularity of the very accurate 6.5’s ! Thanks for great products !!
Thanks for the great read. It was exactly what I was looking for.
