I checked Midway just now and they are out of stock and Grafs was last week. Why don't you call Barnes and ask them?
I may try a MRX this year.

Your best bet is Barnes direct.

COphilI found some today at Sportsman's Warehouse. They only had one box of MRXs on the shelf with all their other Barnes bullets, and the guy there told me that's all they got in the shipment from Barnes--one box. A representative from Barnes had called and asked if they were getting any, said that Barnes had shipped a lot to the distributor, but apparently they're not quite making it to the shelves.
$21.50 for a box of 20, let us know if they're that good.

I've found them to shoot just fine.

Fish30114Terry, what caliber did you try out? I assume they shoot just as good as the XXX for you?
Don't know what's in season in your part of the world, but any on game experience yet?
Thanks for the info--Don

mzimmersI was chatting with someone at Barnes last week on another subject, and I asked about these. Barnes has been absolutely swamped with orders for these little guys. They're way, waaaay behind their original rollout schedule. I believe they're still making only the original caliber they came out with a few months ago (wasn't it a .308?) but they hope to be able to broaden the offering in a couple of weeks. I wouldn't bet the farm on it, though...
At over a buck a piece, I'll let you guys tell me. Pricing seems just unreasonable.
