Knight for the first time announced the New Bloodline bullets by Lehigh Defense this weekend. The packaging and the sabots looked great. They also had banners and the DVD playing for people to see how the bullets work.

Sam Brocato and Jones Beene did a great job running the booth. They were giving out free bullets and selling a few things as well. They also did a great job when three T/C employees came down to the booth. These guys really believe in what they got and are willing to learn and look outside the box. That's really great news for Knight Rifles and Knight owners.

Dang! those new rifles look nice. I would have grabbed one of the ones on the left and ran.... Wish PA was not half way around the world. That would have been a fun place to be this weekend.

Was Knight showing any of their videos they made harvesting various animals with the new bullet?

This has been a long time coming, I really wanted to get this out sooner but Knight really took their time getting the information out.

The excutives at Knight have been hunting with and testing all phases of this bullet for at least 8 months. I am glad they finally made the decision to fly with this bullet.

mike i was wondering why Lehigh doesn't list the .50 cal .220 gr bullet on there site? have you shot it? Ray

I think I might have to look into getting one of those in a TH.

Ray it is a .458-220 and it was a bullet that Tom and I discussed as a possiblility for the Knight 52 cal to increase the the potential and a larger range of bullets that the gun could use.

It is not on the Lehigh site, because of the Knight contractual agreements. It was more or less developed to supply them with an additional bullet.

I have shot a bunch of them in the testing phase... they shot very well. My shooting was done with a 52 cal, but I would not hesitate a bit to shoot them from my 50's. From what I have seen they would make an excellent deer class bullet. Tom hunted whitetail with it last season, I believe in Ohio and harvested a couple of deer with it.

I have this target from a testing run at the farm...



They are a good shooter...

Yes i have seen you posts on the .458-220. Knights advertising banner says .50-220 is that a typo? Ray

Nevermind i got yah.. darn interesting deer size animal bullet.bet yah can get that bullet humming along. good compromise weight for deer size animals..Ray

I wonder why their ad says that they're made from solid materials.
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?

I think the "solid materials" statement is intended to convey that there is no possibility of air bubbles/voids to cause an imbalance. I would not expect them to disclose their alloy formula.
