That's no secret on any of my post's. I have seen many kills with this bullet. Just not with a Muzzleloader. The only way to see kills is to sell the bullet to people at a fair price.

That's true. I guess what I'm getting at is that it's hard for people to take your opinions on these bullets as unbiased information when you're constantly peddling their stuff for them.

No doubt on the pushing issue. But just for fun, I went to the Barnes site and the ML Expanders are $24.60 for 24 of the 195 gr .400" and $18.55 for 15 of the 300 gr .451". That's $1.03 and $1.23 respectfully.
Whereas, the Leighs for the same (or similar) weight are $.83 and $.88 each.
I will admit the price is cheaper so they may be worth a shot (pun intended) if you now shoot the Barnes. Me personally, I'll stick with my XTPs cause they work for me.

SWThomas,
I can see you are going to be a constant problem. You have posted nothing but negative and non productive opinions on my post's. Why dont you get away from the computer and go shoot them yourself.You are welcome to show up in PA and see how they shoot anytime.

BTW- The best all around ML bullet to date for me is the Parker 275grn BE.

XTP'S work for everyone. Excellant choice for a Muzzleloader.

Well my shooting opportunity for deer maxes out at about 175 yards, and most of the time it's 100 yards or less. There are a lot of relatively inexpensive bullets that will kill deer pretty dead at those ranges. For me, the 300 grain Speer Gold Dot does the job with authority.

Did they get the problem worked out where they can shoot over 200 yards?

I agree with SWThomas. The forum is a great place to share ,but it seems your posts are more a sales pitch.
