Lehigh 240g Prototype

[ronlaughlin]

Tom sent these prototype bullet for us to look at. They are 0.452", and weigh 240 grain. They were shot into the stack of carpet, plywood, water jugs, and phone books on the back of the horse. Powder charge was 50 grain Blackhorn; the trap was out 25 yard.

What a difference from the 200 grain.

After testing these bullet for terminal performance, there were three left. This morning the intent was to test them for accuracy. There was quite a breeze, and i almost aborted. What i tried to do was trigger between gusts. The load was 60 (weighed) grain Blackhorn, crush rib sabot, W209 primer. For comparison purposes, three 300g XTP were shot below. I want to say the bullet that flew right did so because of a wind gust; right or wrong.
