From what I've read, they've already proven themselves beyond measure. Seems to me like a heavier bullet would ultimately be better for long distance hunting, rather than trying to go lighter (ie: 215). I know its only 15gr but you get my point.
You seem to following the same mindset as me. Is Lehigh trying to cater to a very small audience? In other words, are all the people associated with these bullets/company categorized as 200-400 yard shooters, interested in building bullets unlike what the 95% audience have been pursuing the past 15 years or-so?
In other words, are too many honchos at Lehigh from "open terrain America", which is such a small audience of shooters. Most ML shooters live further North and further East, where 100-150 yard shots are considered long. Where mushroom expansion is implanted so heavily in their store purchases.
BTW..... I sometimes shoot my 50/40 260 grain Precision Extremes. Talk about a long, narrow bullet...... they shoot very well, but not at "open terrain distances. But again I must mention that 90% of America want bullets for 150 yards and under. 5% more want up-to 200 yard targets. Then there's the last remaining 5% group that want 200-400 yards....... so many in that group posting either here, or at Modern or Doug's.
I was away from ML messageboards for several years. Now most of the posts and threads are from ML technical employees or designers. So few posts are from "real ML America"..... the Average-Joe shooters/hunters looking for accessories different than what's often discussed on ML boards today.
OK, I'm done ranting for this month and next.....lol
