Hey Lee, I guess you get what you pay for:



This is why I buy Parker bullets. I shot these three shots at 100 yds. To me they are the most accurate ML bullet I have ever shot. Must admit though, I have not shot any Lehighs.

While my groups do not average that good I occasionally get one that good with either Lehigh or Shock Waves Especially the 200 grain 40 caliber versions but the reason I like the 250 Lehigh is because it has dropped both deer and hogs with in 10 feet of where they were hit with out fail.
I wanted to put some pics on but when I hit advance the attachments it does not bring up my stuff, not sure what the problem is.

The price of the Parkers from Luke at Arrowhead is about the best around although i haven't checked directly with Parker for bulk pricing. I still have a fair amount of the Traditions branded version i got much cheaper.

They shoot so well sabotless, its hard not to use them. My NULA loves them too in sabots. I swap out to the Harvester Scorpion PT Golds for fun shooting. At around $22/50 they are one of the best bargains for a tipped bullet.

My favorite Lehighs are the 40cals and the .458 275gr. Im hoping Lehigh will make a run of 220gr .451s instead of .458s. The 458 sabots are tighter than i care to use and don't shoot as well for me in the NULA.

That is a great group for sure!

I think the think with Lehighs..they may not be known to be the ultimate in accuracy, but they ARE known for darn good performance on game. And they are certainly quite accurate in their own right. Personally, for typical hunting distances (under 200yds) I'll give up a smidge in overall accuracy for top level terminal performance.
Now if I was shooting 500yds... the game changes. A smidge can end up being alot at that range.

I would have jump in there with you Mr. Hunter. I pretty much know that Lehigh hunting bullets are not designed and are not the most accurate shooting bullet on the market - but from my experience they have proven their 'terminal performance' to me.

While I would not the open nose Lehigh's for competition target shooting - they are very accurate in the work of hunting big game. Plus a better shooter than I am could certainly tighten the groups up from what I am able to shoot.

I have total confidence in their ability to harvest what I pull the trigger on. There have been occasions when I have not made the best shot possible. On one occasion when I did not make the best shot on the animal at all. After the shot and when I got to the animal I found I was low in my shot placement - so low - I am fortunate I was using the Lehigh. With other bullets even with the more expensive ones - I really could have lost that animal. In this case the animal did make it about 100 yards with only a bubbling spot of blood here and there along the way.

They may be expensive as compared but for the performance I am willing.

IIRC one of the best groups i ever shot past 100 yards was with the Lehigh 185gr 40cal. They are solid accuracy performers in the more common twist 45cals. I almost used them this year for the regular season but i didn't have time to work up a load in the Super DISC.

I got tag soup anyway.

I'd shoot the tag.

You would probably try to field dress it too

Nah, mt man muley would just eat it whole and raw

I have never lost a deer or had them go behond 50 or so yds. But being a perfectionist as i am, I must admit I'm gonna go ahead and give these Leihighs a try. I always jump at the chance or excuse for a range trip!!!
