Are Lehigh bullets really over priced?

I'll be trying the Bloodline bullets this year. I have faith they'll work good.

I'm testing one for a friend and will hunt with it as part of the test.

Perhaps if the price was XTP-like, even 75 cents, more volume sales would occur and the same 4-5 posters wouldn't be plugging/promoting this bullet so much.

Lets shoot for 125 threads on Lehigh in 2016. Heck, lets have one new Lehigh thread every day. That'll help chase more new members away for sure. Then you-Lehigh lovers can have the entire board to yourselves.

Just because you feel you can't afford a certain bullet, doesn't mean others automatically line up with you. I think GM did a pretty good job of explaining how they aren't at all out of line with the pricing of many premium bullets. The fact that they perform extremely well makes them that much more worth the money.

Maybe if your candidate Hillary wins, the price will come down to your ideal price range - FREE, as I'm sure you would want it.

Quit whining. Why do you click on a Lehigh thread if you aren't interested in them?

Maybe because he gets free bullets from Cecil.

The really funny part is i shoot very few Lehighs or Bloodlines. Only one of them will even shoot in my NULA (twist is too slow) and i prefer jacketed bullets or conicals when i shoot my 45cal sabotless.

You should look at Cutting Edge Bullet. They are another CNC machined bullet maker. Pricing is higher than Lehigh.

It appears that the myth of Lehigh being way over priced has been debunked so now the person that made that claim has changed his reason to "losing new members". I really cant see how posts like Ron's or Sabotloaders will "ruin" it for new members.

Maybe instead of complaining about Lehigh posts he could show pics or videos of HIS range sessions, groups and expansion tests. I cant say ive ever seen a single picture posted by him anywhere. No chrono data or anything actually.

I have not seen any pics either. Range, hunting, or pine tree tests.

He changed his screen name from Triple Se7en to GoexBlackhorn, but the M.O. is still the same.

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well you just might find
You get what you need
