New Barnes TSX Bullet?

[Varmint Hunter]

Barnes added a pointed plastic tip to their X style bullets to increase BC and to aid in bullet expansion at low velocity. What they found out was that the new bullets were too long to stabilize in standard twist barrels. The addition of the tungston core allowed the bullet to be made shorter while maintaining the original weight, thus, allowing the bullet to stabilize in standard twist barrels.

I see VERY LITTLE advantage to these new Barnes bullets and can not justify their excessive cost.

However, I expect there to be a niche market that these new bullets may just fill.
