Well, i would like to see the spec sheet on Lehigh's UNC3600 brass. It commonly has more lead than would be allowed in states like California. Its only a few percent but its enough to make it a no no in CommieFornia.

California can kiss my big old hairy butt! I swear I am getting sick and tired of those hippies having their noses in EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE! I'm serious here, why in the hell is the WHOLE DAMN USA bending to that silly fairy state? It's one state in this country I have never hunted in nor will I ever. Hell I only visit it when I HAVE to for my business. Other than that I stay as far away from that crap hole as I can. You don't want something in California, that's fine a Jim Friggin Dandy!! Just don't be pushing your stupidity onto MY damn hunting grounds!

Okay, rants over, grumble grumble, damn bunch of limp wristed hippies trying to tell ME what to do, grumble grumble

I think that was or is taken care of in the new CF bullets - The Lehigh originals and Bloodlines had slightly more than CA allowed (3%) but I am thinking Lehigh now with the current bullet meets or exceeds the CA. standard - BUT I DO NOT KNOW THAT FOR A FACT. One thing that leads me to that belief. Lehigh did not ever say their bullet was lead free until the current new bullets which are advertised as "Lead Free"

That's worth a look. I wondered if they were coming out with a heavier version.

Midway seems to be the only place that has them. I can't even find info about them on the Fed site.

I know of no one using the Harvester Saber Tooths. Have you tried them?

The Federals always seem to have distribution issues, despite being very expensive. Cabelas wants $25 for 15 bullets. That's crazy. If the ML bullet is more than 75 cents, I decline. I only hunt deer and yotes with my MLs. They don't require much money per shot.

I wonder if Carlos has any updated info from Federal? Even Wakeman's website has no mention of the 350gr.

Saber has a really bad BC. They lose energy too fast.
