I have not annealed any monos, but I think that is about what an LRX is. "Softer."

OTOH, the black tips for the Blackout also have a deeper nose cavity which allows the bullet to actually expand wider, which is what I like. It makes a noticeably bigger wound cavity but maintains the goodness of monos (i.e. weight retention for straight-line penetration, and no little lead shrapnels scattered in the meat).
