Lehigh has now added tips to be tested on three new bullets. The .452 265grn Copper CF, the .452 240grn CF, and the .451 230grn Copper CF bullet. For those wondering they are going back to the drawing board on the .40 200grn Copper CF bullet.
Here's two 5 shot 100 yard groups with a T/C Strike and the .451 230grn tipped Lehigh Copper Bullet. The bottom group was the first. I then moved the scope up and shot 5 more. All shots are with 120grns by volume of BH209.
This 10 shot group was at 100 yards with the .452 240grn Lehigh Copper Bullet. And the Knight Ultralite with 120grns of BH209
For some reason I forgot to take a pic of the 265grn Copper bullet.
There's still more testing that needs done. Adding tips will or could not allow the bullet to work as well on game. I'm going to send these out to Ron for his testing as well. I plan on testing the bullets as well to see what kind of velocity it takes to get them to work.
Here are some muzzle velocities with 50grns by volume of BH209.
200grn 1388fps
230grn 1240fps
240grn 1206fps
265grn 1184fps
