Does anyone know why no .40 cal bullets? They can still be bought from Lehigh's website, I just found it interesting that Knight is not offering a .50/.40 option with the 185 or 200 DOA.

Dang! you are right - I wonder why they are not showing any 40 cal bullets for a 45 cal rifle or even a 50 cal????

Interesting - maybe because they are not producing any 45 this year???

Did you notice Knight is no offering a Dark brown 45x40 again but these are listed as high pressure. IIRC the old Knight Dark browns were the largest OD and not rated for highend loads. They also list a new 200gr bullet for 50 cals. It kind of looks like a copper bullet but not a Lehigh or Barnes ive ever seen. They used to have a 220gr years ago that looked very similar for 50cals.

I wonder if its ONLY a MMP tan with a different color or......

The Dark Brown sabots were regular plastic sabots - made for the older Knight bores. They were made by Knight back then...



The dark Browns that i have are a really hard plastic and in the cold almost become like boards...

The only Lehigh bullet that interests me is the .50 220 gr bullet. this compromise weight IMHO sounds like a excellent deer & hog bullet. to darn bad only Knight is selling them and they don't offer sample packs like lehigh does. Ray

I am anxious to try these. Last Bow season I had a doe walk 5 feet from the opening of my blind. Two weeks later I got an eight point on opening day from that blind. The buck was about 25 yards away. The 300 grain XTP I shot completely broke up inside the buck with no exit wound. Had that muzzleloader buck walked within five feet of my blind, I don't know if the XTP would hold up. Clearly I am over-taxing the XTP (which are fine pistol bullets). The new Bloodline bullets should solve that problem.

I have shot the .458-220 grain Lehigh at paper and clay pigeons, but have not used it to hunt with yet.

It is a very good shooter...



After shooting this target I went to shooting clay pigeons set from 75 to 150 yards... It was a fun day...
