Lehigh improvements for Muzzleloaders.

[grouse]

I wanted to mention Lehigh (Dave) has put alot of attention to making better products for the Muzzleloader hunter. Since January he has added four new ML bullets. 185,200,275,and a 277grn bullet along with the original 300 and 250grn bullet.

The Knight Extreme/Elite breech plug has been scheduled on a machine with a work order. I cant wait to test this. No blow back and BH209 compatible.

He has also made a great re-placement Savage vent-liner for both Smokeless and BH209. He also has a .458 100grn Varmint bullet i'm going to be testing real shortly in a Muzzleloader. The key will be using a fast enough powder. I took some pictures of it along with some rifle rods he made for Western Powders.

What is the .458 100gr made out of?

first guess would be aluminum.

Glad to see Dave bringing out new things.

I assume Davie is making these bullets on a Brown&Sharpe screw machine or a CNC. Aluminum bullets are not new and I think you will find they lack energy at long range. Mike

I have not shot any yet. They really are only good for varmints. If i understood correctly they pretty much explode on target.
