[QUOTE="venom600, post: 492547, member: 30515"] I just got off of the phone with Barnes tech support. I've been doing load development using the .308 200g Tipped TSX and just noticed that it has become a 'discontinued' product. Yet, a .308 200g bullet "Designed after the best-selling Tipped Triple-Shock™ X Bullet®" showed up in the LRX lineup. I had a suspicion that they just moved the bullet over to the LRX line unchanged so that they could charge more for it....since it is now a 'long range' product (as if it wasn't *before*). Tech support confirmed my suspicion. The guy I talked to said that the 200g .308 LRX is the *exact* same bullet as the 200g .308 TTSX. So, the good news is that the bullet that I've been putting time/energy into developing a load for isn't going away. The bad news is that now I'll have to pay a couple of bucks more per box, due to some silly marketing BS. --Ben [/QUOTE]
