Kinda, sorta.
Barnes says that long range shooters wanted a plastic tip on the X bullet for a better ballistic coefficient. But that plastic tip on an all-copper bullet made the thing extremely long, requiring a very fast rifling twist to stabilize it. To keep the same weight but shorten the bullet, they added a very heavy tungsten core and renamed the thing the MRX (Maximum Range X).
They are in fact calling it a hunting bullet.
