Midway has Lehigh Defense Xtreme bullets on sale

Like the 245gr brass ones I reviewed that produce 100 yd 5-shot groups like this from an AR platform @ 2400 fps:

The most accurate 450b bullet I ever shot. They're not cheap (85 ₵ each on sale) but you get what you pay for.

Have any of you guys seen a first hand, hair tested, field report on these types of bullets?

I've shot them in to "wet paper media"...compared to a Cutting Edge Bullets 300 gr. Handgun Flat nose solid....wound channel is larger by 15% penetration is 2" less....

If I were to go to Alaska and carry a 450 Bushmaster it would be my bullet of choice....good penetration and plenty of power to punch threw heavy bone and muscle of large bears or a ornery moose...

Would be a great bullet for follow up shots on the south end of a critter going north....
