Ray it is a .458-220 and it was a bullet that Tom and I discussed as a possiblility for the Knight 52 cal to increase the the potential and a larger range of bullets that the gun could use.

It is not on the Lehigh site, because of the Knight contractual agreements. It was more or less developed to supply them with an additional bullet.

I have shot a bunch of them in the testing phase... they shot very well. My shooting was done with a 52 cal, but I would not hesitate a bit to shoot them from my 50's. From what I have seen they would make an excellent deer class bullet. Tom hunted whitetail with it last season, I believe in Ohio and harvested a couple of deer with it.

I have this target from a testing run at the farm...



They are a good shooter...
