Default RE: One Target With .40/200 grain Lehighs

My next try with the .40/200 grain Lehighs will be out of the Renegade's .45 caliber GM LRH barrel. It has a 1:30 twist and gives me two-inch 100 yard groups with .40/200 grain XTPs over 80 grains T7 FFG. Velocity with that load is 1760 fps. I can get the XTP up to 1930 fps with 95 grains T7 FFG, but the groups open up to four and a half inches. So it will be interesting to see how tight a group I can get with the Lehighs with 80, 90 and 100 grains of T7 out of that barrel. Then the question remains - will they perform as designed at velocities as low as 1760 fps?
