Cutting Edge 44cal 210gr MZL
Rangerod provided 44cal 210gr MZL Maximus bullets to catch. Range to the trap was 25 yard. Powder charge was 80 grain Blackhorn.
The front jug was flattened, and discombobulated. There are visible holes in the back of the front jug indicating the bullet fractured therein. The second jug was blasted into two big pieces, and smaller pieces. The bullet then tore holes in the third, fourth, fifth jugs, and was caught by the sixth jug. The fourth, and fifth jugs stood on horse. A fractured fragment lay on the horse under where the second jug stood. The bullet weighs 153 grain.

The last jug caught the bullet. All jugs had ragged holes in and out with splitting. Evidently the phonebooks kept the bullet from leaving the last jug. The bullet weigh 210 grain.

Probably would be fantastic with a good heavy load out to 150-175 yards. I sure like the looks of their .44cal 250gr Maximus for the TC .50 and that .40cal 240gr Maximus looks like it would be a real winner in my new SML

Don't forget the Hornady Monoflex.
It flies better than the Bloodline, and did well in the 50 grain, and the 80 grain testing.

I'll have to test the Lehigh's out of it once I get it all built. Leaving for Texas then Lower Alabama first of next week so It will be a bit. But for what I am wanting out of a bullet, that higher BC rating added to smokeless speeds may be just the ticket for my Moose hunt. This one in particular https://cuttingedgebullets.com/40cal...l-maximus-20ct G1BC of .287 is pretty dang spiffy and may be just the exact bullet needed for my purposes.
