[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2403217, member: 30902"] This was tried with the Barnes MRX which never got enough of the market to be a viable product for them. In theory it's great but the ATF has grave reservations about Tungsten cores because of their potential to be used as armor piercing rounds. I know some foreign manufacturers have been denied license to sell such bullets in the US. I'm not sure where the US based manufacturers are on trying any more of them in the future. I may be wrong but I also believe Federal tried a tri metal bullet of some sort not too long ago which was a standard cup/core lead bullet with another high density metal, maybe tungsten as a core. As I recall that was short lived as well. [/QUOTE]
