Lehigh and bh 209
« on: October 19, 2011, 04:17:40 PM »
Last year I found the pet load for my Contender g2. 62.2 grains BH209 by weight, not volume, with a Lehigh .452 in 250 grains, and a crush rib harvester sabot. I put them in a volleyball at 300 yds. I was pleased and the gun and I performed almost flawlless in our upstate ny deer season. Unfortunately the hammer extension I put on it was not ALUMINUM and it was starting to fail the hammer by peening it to the weighted side. That has since been remidied along with a trigger job to 3.5. My question is after inventorying my supplies I have X bullets prior to re sight in and I see that the Lehigh site no longer has the .452 250 gr listed . Whats up? The bullets performed as well if not better as I had hoped. Thanks in advance, Jason

Lehigh in under contract with Knight Rifles, and makes the bullets for them. They are called Bloodlines. Lehigh has a few .40 cal bullets for sale until they are gone. Word is Knight will have the .40's for sale in the future, then no more Lehigh branded muzzleloader bullets.
