[QUOTE="meatyrem, post: 498776, member: 26633"] It's just that the xp3 and the mrx have very similar construction, and it does not make a bit of sense to me that they would not offer it alone for reloading purposes. The only bullet that CT offers is the ballistic silvertip, but not the xp3 or the fail safe. I have two whole boxes of the failsafe in 280 Rem that I bought on sale several years ago and had not touched them. Therefore I can't say how they work either. Back to topic, barnes claims that the ttsx and the mrx have highly rapid expansion do to the redesigned nose cavity, more so than the original tsx, which I didn't care for. So I can see also that maybe they have batches of bullets that may be much denser or harder ( inconsistantsies ) copper materials that could alter the bullets performance. Idk I'm just thinking out loud. [/QUOTE]
