Default Prelim testing Lehigh “Tipped” .458X260 Sabotless

I just shot the New “Tipped” Lehigh .458X260 Sabotless in 1 of my Sidelocks today, This was my Rice 1:20 Twist Match Grade Barrel, I decided to try the Scope base that came with the Barrel, I need to make some Changes, But it works as is, and is ROCK SOLID. I had planned to shoot 200 yards but when i got Out to my Spot it was Starting to get Windy, DARN IT!! We are expecting a Storm tomorrow, But after packing everything out there I wasn’t gonna leave without Firing a few shots My first shot felt Really good, i Swabbed the Bore and Loaded up the 2nd Shot, i ALWAYS pop 1 cap straight through after i Swab when i am shooting a Group, BUT I was in a Hurry to beat a Storm and i skipped it, My 2nd Shot was a Very slight Hangfire (My fault, i know better!!!) I call the Hangfire in the Video. I swab out and loaded Shot No. 3, That Shot felt great, just like the First Shot. As you will see in the Video my 2nd Shot (Slight hangfire) Goes a tiny bit High which is Typical of a Hangfire (highest shot) And my 3rd Shot Settles back in with Shot No. 1, Shot No. 1 and Shot No. 3 measure .551,
These Bullets Shot VERY GOOD!! This was my first outing with them, ZERO Load Development, i weighed out 80 Grain Charges of Swiss 2F Powder and Ran with it. After seeing this today I am Confident these will do good on Down the Valley I am really looking forward to getting out to 200, and 300 yards, That’s up next.
