Lehigh improvements for Muzzleloaders
I wanted to mention Lehigh (Dave) has put alot of attention to making better products for the Muzzleloader hunter. Since January he has added four new ML bullets. 185,200,275,and a 277grn bullet along with the original 300 and 250grn bullet.
The Knight Extreme/Elite breech plug has been scheduled on a machine with a work order. I cant wait to test this. No blow back and BH209 compatible.
He has also made a great re-placement Savage vent-liner for both Smokeless and BH209. He also has a .458 100grn Varmint bullet i'm going to be testing real shortly in a Muzzleloader. The key will be using a fast enough powder. I took some pictures of it along with some rifle rods he made for Western Powders.

He actually made the bullets for the police. I really dont expect the bullets to be any more then a varmint bullet. Not sure i will even be able to use a fast enough powder to shoot them with a BP Muzzleloader. BH209 wont work that's for sure. 777 probably will at some point??? Not sure till i try them. Smokeless powder Muzzleloaders should not be a problem.
The Brass bullets are being shot from smokeless Muzzleloaders at 2700fps. I have not witnessed that. 2550fps was my max with the 200grn Bullet with BH209.
