Well the accuracy sure seems to be there. Those kind of groups are hard to argue.

Getting back to the game stopping ability of the bullet. We saw from the pictures of the hog hunt your friends and you participated in earlier this spring that the Lehigh bullets do put a tuff animal on the ground. In your opinion, do you feel there was excessive damage to the body of the animal? I am of the opinion I'd rather loose a pound of meat and plant that animal where it stands, then save that pound of meat and have the animal run off.

That .458 diameter, I am guessing were shot from the MMP Orange .458 sabot? What would you think happen if these bullets were shot at a lower velocity? For instance, my Wolverine and my original Disc have a 22 & 24 inch barrel respectively. So ifa powder charge of say 110 grains of Triple Seven were used. Would that be enough to make the bullet behave? What if a person dropped that down to even 80 grains of powder?

As you can see, the bullet has my interest...
