[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2400891, member: 109862"] That one was the MRX. Flippin expensive. It did help bc but I think moreso it allowed for something like a 180 grain lead free to not be so much longer than a 180 lead core. Tungsten is expensive (compared to copper or lead). I suspect one might encounter regulations real fast too, it’s what’s used in a lot of penetrator rounds, like military application stuff, tank munitions etc…. A company, and I think it was a gimmick, called EXTREME SHOCK did this a while ago too. If a steel core bullet is “armor piercing”, a tungsten core one is more. Low hanging fruit for the antis. If someone does revisit the idea, whatever you do don’t coat it in “armor piercing Teflon”🤣. They’ll string you up straight away for that! [/QUOTE]
