Putting Lehigh bullets to the test.
« on: March 15, 2009, 04:33:24 PM »
I heard from Dave that the orders have been coming in for these bullets so i owe it to the guys to show how they perform.
Saturday 4/4/2009 we will be shooting pigs with these bullets.  There will be three of us going and hopefully all three of us using Muzzleloaders and these bullets.

I really plan on using the 200grn http://lehighbullets.com/products.asp?cat=23
These bullets are my favorite. Most would say a 200grn bullet is light for a Hog but i think these bullets will perform excellant. If the first Hog isnt harvested cleanly with it, my second Pig will be shot with a 250grn bullet.

The two Muzzleloaders i will be taking will be Knight Disc Elites, both in 45 and 50cal. The 45 Disc Elite will be using 125 to 140grns of BH209 to harvest a pig. If all works as planned, it will harvest both of them. I do have some of these bullets coming with ballistic tips coming on them. I have no plans now of using the ballistic tip bullets on this hunt.

My one friend will be using a T/C Triumph with the 250grn Lehigh bullet with around 115 to 125grns of BH209. The other guy i'm not sure. No big deal either way. We should have some good info to share when done.

Cool deal Tom! I'm going to say the 200 grain bullets will drop the hogs pretty quick.

Looking forward to the results Grouse.    ;)

I shoot the 250 Barnes Expanders out of a 50 cal Elite now... so that 250 Lehigh could be the one for me.  They look very similar with that huge hollow point.
