Another thing, I believe the Lehigh's would give you the edge if your shots were beyond 100 yds. But knowing how far you shoot from previous posts I honestly believe the Bullshops bullets would better suit you and your short range hunting. They are more than likely cheaper than the Lehigh's and I do believe they could stop a Mack truck @ 488 gr. That is one heck of a chunk of lead. Heck I can melt one down and get two .54 cal (.530") and still have some lead left over....
Bronco, I think back in the day or even now at times using real black powder the to much powder factor would come into play with a short barrel or even a long barrel But, to day with the faster burning T7 and/or pregressive burning BH that may not be the case.

I will find out more this morning
