Thread: Lehigh Bullets

Two different types are printing next week. I missed this weeks run for a variety of reasons. One will work with a KAC A2 flash hider and the other one will work with a proprietary brake. I will test these for accuracy, robustness and sound. I should have some available for February.

Hi there ODL, When are you expecting delivery of new stock of the 194gr ME projectiles. Cheers in advance.

I just got in a box that was from the last shipment. I loaded them back up on the store. I also have more inbound on the next shipment along with an assortment of of other rounds.

Dave from Lehigh just emailed me saying that the 168 grain controlled chaos work very well on whitetail and are in use by a DOC agency back there. I have some coming on the next shipment.

great are those 168s you speak of for subsonic?

Yes, they are. Here is the data on them.


Here is a link to the load data.

Anyone knocked a deer over with a sub yet?

Sorry Guys - With Ruger delaying the arrival of the 300 Blk American Ranch model til March /April Can't quite get this info to you yet.

Once I do I'll do a full independent report for you all on Range and on Game... Til then I also will be watching the American sites for anything else that shows up.

Best regards CD.

New bullets just arrived with a few more due in next week.

Just came back from a trip in the bush for the first try on Lehigh 194gr ME subs. Only did a 3 shot group at 60m with a 1" group ( no chrony ) will do when have more time.
Shot 5 goats all broad side body, heart, lung shot and the bullets did awesome internal damage and large exit wounds. The only bullet recovered was a front on centre chest shot found in the gut.

The bullet on the top is a 230gr Berger OTM shot between the eyes and exited at the base of the skull and found under the skin on the back steaks.

Looks like they're doing what they're supposed to!

That is pretty awesome performance, would be a very large wound channel

Yup and loving it. It did need a bit of tutu-ing @tikka - but most of that was playing to my OCD - stiffening the fore-end of the stock, lightening and taking creep out of the trigger all really easy do yourself stuff and next once I've got Mark at Waitaki to do the custom overbarrel supressor I'll glue and screw the final bedding in for it (nathan Foster style) just like yo do for a Accuracy International stock. I understand that's how to get the best out of it.



From the firing different projectiles I was well impressed with the grouping of the lehigh 196 ME rounds as they were second in grouping accuracy onlybehind the 125 Sierra match kings that I expected to use for the benchmark. The Hornady Whisper 208 factorys were slightly worse.

Now gonna have to make up my mind what to do with the Troy PAR in 300 with a same 16" nitrided barrel but 1:8 vs 1:7 for the Ruger - next project or flick it on ???

Here's The TROY PAR - in 300 AAC just in case you hadn't seen my other post. Yes - its A-CAT being non-semi and has just been type approved by Wellington YAY!!! in 223,308 and 300AAC



Keen to see if you all like it or not - What sold me originally is its a grand cheaper than a Daniel Defence, AAC or similar AR in 300 at under 2K. and a variable length stock that is made for it not an afterthought...oh and removable muzzle break threaded 5/8x24.

I like it a lot. 308 is more my style as I already have a 300 Blackout AR15.
Been thinking of buying one for quite some time from NZ Guns as they are listed at $1500.
They have been on Pre order on the site for quite some time. If they have got the tick from Wellington now I guess they will be available very shortly.
Need a bigger safe.
