Default I've been quiet about this for awhile.

I really honestly believe, Lehigh bullets are the best Muzzleloader bullet money can buy. Why? They just plain work. Here is one Deer i shot this year in Ohio. I can actually say, this was the farthest a Deer has ever gone since i been using Lehigh bullets. This Deer went right around 45yds. But the blood was all over the place. This is exactly what i expect when a animal does not go down right away. A nice blood trail to easily track the animal.

The Deer below was shot with a Knight LRH 52cal ML with a .458 220grn Lehigh bullet. The Deer was shot at less then 20yds.

wow.. that is some damage there.

Also there is nothing I see wrong with you believing that Lehigh are the best bullets out there. Even if I disagreed, and liked something different, if you have absolute faith in the Lehigh bullet, then that is the bullet you should use.

I have shot them. They are super accurate. I have not shot an animal with them, but am impressed at how well they shoot. Also the range results and the field reports on them have to mean something.

I shot a Doe this year at 100 yards with the 200 gr Lehigh DOA out of my DISC Elite .45 taking off the top half of the heart and the bottom of the lungs. The deer ran 100 yard through a partially cut hay field pileing up in a hedge row. The tracking job was so easy as blood was being spray every where out both side covering a six foot wide path. These bullets work like Grouse45 posted and they are darn accurate too.

Wow - that's pretty gruesome. I think you ought to post that on the PETA sight with a caption "Venison - Its what' for dinner."
Nice shot Grouse. Almost perfect placement.

deer can cover a whole lot of ground in a very short amount of time. Mountain men NEVER heart shot buffalo because they could run a couple miles before going down. They always went for the lungs.
