That's mostly what i used with them. The Tan MMP'S are pretty good as well. What kind of 45cal Muzzleloader are you using?

For myself I totally agree, but would you not think that IF the bullets catch on and full production runs begin that pricing has a chance of coming down... the old addage the more you make the less expensive it becomes.
You thought is exactly why i do not shoot BH-209, why pay $30 for 10 onces and why do they charge that much when you compare that to any other smokeless - progressive burning powder that Western distributes.
Even apply that to the cost of SST/SW's, Noslers, and Barnes bullets - you pay for Barnes because they work for you, I pay the remium for Noslers because they work for me. Somebody is going to pay the price for Lehighs because they work for them. I for one would not think of plinking. shooting paper, clay pigeons with them I prefer to use the less expensive and shoot simular speer offereings.
I have not even done a comparison of premium bullets at this point but I will offer this my favorite bullet cost to me is @ least $50 for a box of 50 .458/300 Nosler Partition Protected Points (todays pricing). What would be the cost of a simular package of premium Barnes @ the same size?
They're definitely going to have to adjust their pricing if they expect their product to catch on.

Certainly can not argue that statement because I to really believe it, but for T7 does everything that BH does.... as i am one of the forunate that does not fight the 'crud ring' problem nor have any worry about corrosion at least anymore than I would have with any bore that has been shot.
And the obvious - it cost a bunch less allowing me to shoot a whole buch more...
I pay the premium for BH209 because it's the best powder out there

Sabotloader, Since your camera works really well. I'm going to send you a 200grn Lehigh bullet with a new ballistic point in it. They look great and iplan on testing them this weekend. I will also send one of the 250grn with no Boattail on it.

10-4 I will be waiting... Make sure you post those 10 mil results - i think I might have big plans for that particular bullet... I want to introduce it to Mr. Whitetail this season, provided it survives my torture test...
