Not For Shooting Trees
Judging from the testing done last summer, the Lehigh Controlled Fracturing Bullet may not work good on trees. Tests done with carpet faced plywood placed in front of water jugs, indicate the petals did not fracture until they encountered the water. The bullets appeared to pass right through the carpet and plywood, before they started the fracturing process. This seemed to occur using both the 50 grain powder loads, and the 80 grain loads.

This summer I am going to be playing more with my Accura and BH209. I will be trying the Barnes MZ and the Lehigh Bloodlines. Whatever one gives me the best accuracy that is what I'll be shooting. I know both will work well on whitetail.

Bronko, 125 yards and in you will want that Bloodline. 125+ that Barnes will have a little more umph because of a little better BC unless you mean the "expander" MZ. The spitfire MZ and the TEZ have the tips. Those TEZ's shoot dang fine out of my PH holding a little over an inch at 150 yards. The 220gr Bloodlines (.458 with orange MMP) shoot very nice out of my daughters Impact but that little rifle has one TIGHT bore. Getting them started was a task.

I have not tried the new Lehigh bullets yet but they would really have to go some to be better than the Bloodline.
My personal opinion is that the Parkers and the PB are the most overpriced bullets on the market. I shoot inexpensive jacketed bullets for fun and sight in, switch to the Bloodlines when it's time for business. I'm sold after last years hunting inspections. |
Lehigh is working on new packaging and supplying bullets with sabots as well. I'm gonna suggest they offer with out sabots as well. I'm also gonna suggest a bulk price on 50 or 100 bullets.

Bulk pricing or a volume discount would be a good idea.

My goal this year is to use my guns full bore, w/Lehigh and Barnes bullets, as knurrelled conicals in .50 cal. For distance shots, I will see how the 270 copper Bor Loks do.
