Looks like those lehighs put the smack down on deer as well as the Barnes bullets do..you going to use one for your 300 yd shooting or something a bit more aerodynamic like the TEZ? looking at Lehighs site and the lack of .40 cal bullets,it appears Knight may indeed be marketing a .45 cal this year.

The dead centers are pure lead are they not. what velocity will you be pushing the dead centers at? lead starts acting funny around 2000 fps, which affects it's accuracy..not only that, but i refuse to pay what they want for there pure lead bullets.it's highway robbery, similar to parker bullets.

Groups with it are about 1 or 2 inches bigger.

I would expect the .290 barnes to be better at long range, with it's better BC and more energy to boot. it will be interesting to see which bullet ends up flying better out that far.i have a new toy coming soon in the .45 cal flavor. so i will be occupied messing with it
