215grn CF bullet update!!
 
After watching Sabotloader and Chet shoot these bullets out of a 1/30 twist 45 I got all excited. The Knight Elite is my all time favorite 45 by far. So I went to the range when I shouldn't of but did.

To make a long story short, these bullets are not flying straight and not shooting accurately in my 1/30 45 Disc Elite. Holes 5, 6, and 7 are with a 200grn bloodline so it's obvious when you look at the holes and compare, the 215's are not stabilizing in my gun.

The good news is, according to Lehigh defense there not supposed to anyway. Just a little fyi in case you are thinking about getting them and using them in a 1/30 knight for example. But like Mike and Chet they may work great to????

I think most already know, In my 1/20 twist they shoot great. So when buying keep in mind Lehigh recommends a fast twist 45, but there are always exceptions as we know.

How loose do they load? Any slippage with cause them to destabilize. What powder load?
My bore is more suited to 41 caliber I would have to paper patch them.

To me they loaded great. I was using 120grns by volume of BH209. I really believe a little more velocity in my gun they will shoot.

I got a new rest and a higher rear bag. I'm so much more comfortable shooting now.

I agree, but I like a good rest when testing bullets.

No way, that's a 45 Disc Elite.
