That's interesting stuff Sabotloader. Here's some comparative data from back in Februaryout of the 30" barrel of my .45 GM LRH Renegade with some of the same loads you were shooting. I was swabbing with one side of one alcohol patch between shots.

200 grain .40 XTP / Harvester H4540B Sabot

80 grains T7 FFG = 1784, 1794, 1799 = 1792 fps average. (Sabotloader's average was 1903)
90 grains T7 FFG = 1796, 1850, 1838 = 1828 fps average. (Sabotloader's average was 1998)
100 grains T7 FFG = 1875, 1852, 1927 = 1884 fps average. (Sabotloader's average was 2049)
110 grains T7 FFG = 2061, 2048, 2018 = 2042 fps average. (Sabotloader's average was 2093)

Quite a difference in velocities, eh? It just goes to show you how much faith we should put inpublished velocities, orthe velocity some other guy reports. There are so manyvariables (temperature, elevation, actual bore diameter, barrel smoothness, compression of the load, swabbing/no swabbing, etc.) that someone else's results can only be viewed as a rough guideline.
