The word materials sounds vague and generic.
Are these bullets made from a special alloy different from solid brass?
If it was a special alloy then I would think that would be a selling point to be touted in their ad.
Even if they are made from solid brass, why not come right out and state that fact rather than to say made from solid materials?
The use of the word materials in their ad just doesn't sound right.
Everything about them is described as being high tech until their use of the vague wording of solid materials.
Otherwise I like what's been posted about the bullets.
What metal are these bullets specifically made from?
Why don't they just state which solid metal or metals that they're constructed of?
If I would like to know then I'm sure that the potential buying public might like to be better informed too.
Are they made from a special brass alloy or just plain brass or what?
If the alloy is proprietary then that would be a selling point so maybe it's not that special of an alloy that it has a name.
But why should the consumer need to guess?
Are they trying to keep the composition hidden because most folks won't want to buy it if they knew?

The bullets are not solid Brass. There is a percentage of lead in them.

Ahh, perhaps that explains why Lehigh has apparently not sought approval in CA for the lead free areas?

I have asked this same question numerous times and couldn't get a answer. if they do indeed contain lead, ca will not approve them in the non lead zones period! Ray

It's not up to Lehigh, they are under contract with Knight Rifles. I would not change the formula because of California. And i'm pretty sure Knight Rifles agrees. They even note the lead on the packaging. Now if the lead ban spreads it's a very easy fix and has already been tested.
