One day I am going to have to see about finding a good .45 that will shoot a full bore bullet well for around here (Illinois requires minimum .44 cal bullet). As far as this foul weather goes, it has pretty much kept me off my range as well. I did take the new TC Impact that Grouse sold my daughter the other day for a little spin though with very good results.

Goex, do you work for some competing bullet manufacturer or something? I have been testing a couple of those Lehigh bullets in both my .458 SOCOM (X-Treme Penetrator) as well as some Bloodlines (Made by Lehigh for Knight) and I can find absolutely no truth to your statements about them being an over priced bullet and not worth what is asked for them. My Daughter dropped a Big Bodied whitetail (Dressed at 265) with one of those 220gr Bloodlines over 75gr (I think) T7 loose (either 75 or 85 I don't remember) with dead right there, no tracking results. Can one ask for better results?

The X-Treme P bullet that I loaded for the SOCOM dropped a good number of hogs over the summer. I had let a friend use my SOCOM since I was out of commission for hogging this past year and he reported high praises for not only great accuracy but astounding terminal ballistics of that bullet.

Dave is making huge leaps and bounds in his bullet engineering and it sounds to me like you have a problem with some of us reporting on these improvements. Would you prefer us to not report on quality products on an information forum that is here FOR JUST THAT PURPOSE?
