Another rifle to try out
My step mom asked me a few days ago to look for a rifle for her son. Well, bronko and i worked out a deal on his Remington Genesis. I'll be sure im the first one testing it out I still have some 250gr Lehighs to try out so i will mount my bushnell trophy on it and see how it does with 120gr T7.
Thanks again Bronko. M/O will be in the mail tomorrow morning.

Sabot loader, looking at the design and having done a bit of testing myself I am going to guess that the Lehigh work off of hydraulics and that testing them with out some kind of fluid won't open them but put some fluid in front of them and they will pop open. They open quite a bit different than I thought they would. Lee

Yes, I agree but I am thinking they will open a bit probably not to 40 degrees but more like a conventional HP - but I think talso the penetration will still be there.
I am sorta thinking that - that might be the beauty of the Lehigh. It can shed and get the extra damage or it can retain partially opened petals and behave like a more conventional bullet. The key goes back to velocity @ the point of impact.

Now that would be neat, I love those video when some one picks out the right frames and brings them up. Do you have any FTX? If not PM me with some info and I will send enough for a test. Lee
