Great question!! And your right about the bloodlines, they work perfect every time.

The main reason Lehigh thinks the new bullets are better is because of the heavier petals. The new bullets have 4 heavier petals instead of 6 lighter petals. The 230grn Bloodline that knight never chose to sell had longer heavier petals on it. There was still 6 petals but heavier. I believe that's the main reason. (Everytime I talk to Gordy at Knight rifles I still keep trying to get them to sell the 230grn bullet) The other is the new bullet will open up at lower velocities. So long range shooting that's a benefit. Plus lite loads for women and children as well.

I need to shoot many animals before I will say there better or equal on game. I will say for some reason the new design is more accurate in my ultralite then the 250grn bloodline. But not enough to make a difference hunting for sure.

Very interesting concept and design. I want to see your range and field reports. That will really spark some interest.

The .40cal 230grn bullets are running tonight on the machine. We will definitely be shooting them saturday morning😛😀

230 gr CF bullet will make one heck of a good hunting bullet in a fast twist .45 Disc .

They are here😉

Good deal . I look forward to your range session report . You going to use the blue crushrib or smooth blue sabot? 120 or 130gr powder ?

Shoot Dang it! why can you not live further away from Quakertown or maybe FedEx should route your stuff thru Idaho :biggrin::biggrin:

I'll test them with 120grns by volume and the harvester smooth blue. If I shoot them 300 to 500 yards it will be 135 and 140.

This bullet is available if anyone is interested.

I like accuracy, but I also like performance when it comes to game shots. Have you done any work with ballistic gel? The Leigh bullet looks good, but I have been having great success with the Parker bullet.

This is what I'm getting in my Knight Vision at 100 yds:



This was a 275 gr. bullet.



I have also tried the 300 gr. :



The farther shot I think I pulled. I have gotten better groups. I haven't done any ballistic gel work, but my wound shots showed great results. I have never retained a kill shot bullet, all have been through in through shots.
