I have been shootingthem for a couple of years now and they are good shooters, not to mention that they work very well on big game.

Does anyone know why no .40 cal bullets? They can still be bought from Lehigh's website, I just found it interesting that Knight is not offering a .50/.40 option with the 185 or 200 DOA.

Dang! you are right - I wonder why they are not showing any 40 cal bullets for a 45 cal rifle or even a 50 cal????

Interesting - maybe because they are not producing any 45 this year???

Did you notice Knight is no offering a Dark brown 45x40 again but these are listed as high pressure. IIRC the old Knight Dark browns were the largest OD and not rated for highend loads. They also list a new 200gr bullet for 50 cals. It kind of looks like a copper bullet but not a Lehigh or Barnes ive ever seen. They used to have a 220gr years ago that looked very similar for 50cals.

I wonder if its ONLY a MMP tan with a different color or......

The Dark Brown sabots were regular plastic sabots - made for the older Knight bores. They were made by Knight back then...



The dark Browns that i have are a really hard plastic and in the cold almost become like boards...

The only Lehigh bullet that interests me is the .50 220 gr bullet. this compromise weight IMHO sounds like a excellent deer & hog bullet. to darn bad only Knight is selling them and they don't offer sample packs like lehigh does. Ray

I am anxious to try these. Last Bow season I had a doe walk 5 feet from the opening of my blind. Two weeks later I got an eight point on opening day from that blind. The buck was about 25 yards away. The 300 grain XTP I shot completely broke up inside the buck with no exit wound. Had that muzzleloader buck walked within five feet of my blind, I don't know if the XTP would hold up. Clearly I am over-taxing the XTP (which are fine pistol bullets). The new Bloodline bullets should solve that problem.

I have shot the .458-220 grain Lehigh at paper and clay pigeons, but have not used it to hunt with yet.

It is a very good shooter...



After shooting this target I went to shooting clay pigeons set from 75 to 150 yards... It was a fun day...
