You did originally say MRG, right?  Cuz now it says MRX.

Shoots very similarly to the TSX.  In testing we did w/ my buddies 300 RUM it was tough to tell a difference.  IMO it isn't worth the extra $.  If you were really into shooting a big banger consistently at ranges over 500 yards maaaybe.  But the BC isn't appreciably better so you're really putting a lot of faith in the distributed weight design and extra density at the core.  It makes sense, I just don't know how much practical advantage you're gaining for almost double the $.

It said MPX before. I have been reloading the Tipped TSX but a friend hunts in Idaho and Montana and most his shoots are 500-600 yards so was looking at the MRX.
