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 !!

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 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.

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!

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.

Please bring back the 90 gr. x bullet for the .257 caliber. My 257 Roberts loves those bullets.

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

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.

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 !

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.
