That is only a 50 yard target so I am not real impressed - but it was fun shooting. To tell your the truth I really was not even concentrating that much on the target. I was short time so I was just trying to get through all 21 shots + the 5 shots I took down range just playing.
I have not used them on game - in fact this is the first time I shot them. Tom has taken 2 derr with them if I remember right.
How do they compare to the .452/250gr Lehigh DOA's that you sent me, will they group like those did? I hope so that would be great.
I am sure they will... the 250 is a great bullet - the 275 is even a bit better in my mind...
I have'nt had a chance to test them yet but I will soon. Im gonna try between 110-120gr's of Pyro RS with the MMP HPH-24 Sabot and a Win W209 Primer out of My ACCURA.
That should work just fine. Just compress the load.
I thought the .452/250gr Lehighs weighed much more than the 240gr XTP's I normally use. I laid them both side by side on the table and the XTP is half the size of the Lehigh, yet the Lehigh only weighs 10 more Grains. The Lehigh looked like it was at least a 300gr'er.
It is just that brass is so much lighter than lead - so it take a chunk brass to equal a small piece of lead.
I was a little concerned about the Deep Hollow Point of the Lehigh, It looked like when opened it would deliver a heck of a blow to a Deer, but I figured it would slow down too much with the Deep Hollow Point and the Accuracy would suffer.
Nice Report!

Do not worry about the hollow point - that bullet will fly a lot better than you can imagine. Did you get the picture of me shooting them 234 yards in the snow?
Hope you get a chance to shoot a couple soon - do not even mess with the scope - just shoot a group.
