Default Ballistic tip Lehigh Bullets not for sale yet.

Yes i have them. I will be testing them in all three (200grn,250grn,and 300grn) Muzzleloader Bullets. They will not be used on the April hunt. Only the original hollow point style design. I need to spend time with the BT bullets to make sure they are accurate and perform like the others with some other tests to start with.
My main focus right now is to hunt in april with the 200grn and the 250grn Hollow point bullets.

For those that are wondering about BC'S, i will tell you right now that the 200grn Lehigh BT is faster at 100yds then the 200grn SST with equal loads. I didnt get any good accuracy out of any bullets i shot Sunday. My 45 Disc Elite is cleaned up and ready to go now. And both Chrono's have new batteries in them ready to go.

This is how i will compare bullets when the time comes.

200grn LH with 200grn SST
250grn LH with 250grn SST
300grn LH with 300grn SST and Barnes Originals once i find mine. This will be smokeless powder, with a smokeless powder Muzzleloader.

I'm open to any suggestions if they are with in reason

Very interesting results. The Shockwaves shoot so well out of so many rifles, yet a complaint I have read is that they punch in and out. Maybe this will be a better option. I will be waiting for your range results.

You know what I really would like to know is the velocity of the 10mil/200 @ 100 with the tip and without the tip... heck same for the 250... Do you think you will have an opportunity to that?
