There is a gentleman on this board called "grouse". I believe he has used them with good results.

Lehigh bullets have been awesome to say the least. Matching up the bullet sabot combination for you ML is the hardest part. I favor the 200grn bullet in my 45cal Muzzleloaders. But that bullet is so long you need to push it pretty fast in a 1/30 twist. The 185grn Lehigh doesn't have that problem. If you are using a 50cal the 250grn bullet is over kill on Deer size game but that will be your most consistent. Of course for Elk, Bear, and Moose the .458 275grn is all you will need. They also make a 300grn but that wont be needed with the controlled fragmenting of this bullet. These petals are remarkable when they separate.

Anybody shoot these in the .45 Pac-nors? Results? I actually sent some to Dave to shoot in his Pac-nor. And also another guy. Both didn't do anything special. I think Dave got some 1 1/2 groups at 100 yds. The Savage, T/C's, and Knights shoot them really well. |

The only memorable thing was that I could not get the 200g bullets to shoot without blowing sabots. The 185g didn't blow sabots, but the group sizes I got were double to triple the size I get with the 195g Barnes and 200 SST. I was not impressed. |
