Im going to get on sight with some 300gr xtp's before moving onto the 200gr Lehigh. I'll push them with 150gr loose pyrodex RS and see how they group. After that i will move onto the 250gr Lehighs.
yes the 200's are the .40cal's with the blue sabots and the 250's are .45cal with black. Im not sure if they are mmp-12 or 24's. I'll find out when i load them.
I got the 200's on sight after 3 shots @ 70 yards. 150GR loose RS has quite a bite to it but still is comfortable to shoot with the 200's. I wasnt able to shoot for groups as i needed to bring it down a good 6" so it would hit the bulls eye level area. I can do 100 yards tomorrow with the 200's and see how they do.
Next trip for powder i'll buy triple 7 2f for some extra speed.
Good luck with the Lehighs. I am looking to try the 185gr in my .45 Accura. The 200s shot ok butI think I can improve on the acuracy.I'm told the 185s will be shorter and will shoot better out of the 1:28 twist.
The group in thecenter diamond is the Lehigh group.

That XTP group is impressive!

Very pleased with this group even though i fudged up shot 2. Im taking the 300gr XTP's out now with 100gr RS and see how it does. Those Lehighs show great promise. I think i can actually tighten it up when i buy some Triple 7 to up the FPS.
Any clue on the FPS with that bullet with 150gr Loose Pyrodex RS?
