And it would make a heck of a hunting load with that kind of accuracy and that terminal shock it creates. To this say, my favorite hunting bullet is a 250 grain Barnes MZ. I am guessing they would act similar, other then the Leigh loosing petals.
Another bullet that I really think has a bright future is the .451x230 grain Lehigh. It will shoot in a 1-48 twist as well as the more modern rifles.
I took one of my grand old friends out to shoot them
And they shot really well... Shot #4 was my problem forgetting how touchy the trigger is when the set trigger is set!!!
This is the Ballistic sheet for this bullet... It should prove out to be a great deer getter! For those of us that use a 50 cal. ML.
And if Lehigh's most recent upgrade works it will really exciting...
That little silver tip could really set it apart -
IF - it works as designed.
