Thanks for the great info! I always wanted to know how fast I was shooting the 200 XTP out of my .45 - I had guessed about 2000 fps, and that's pretty close (for 100 grains T7 FFFG).

I ran the numbers, and if you're sighted in to be 3" high at 100 yards, you'll be about 3" low at 170, and 5" low at 200 yards. At 200 yards, you still have more than 800 foot-pounds of energy. Not bad for a hollow-point pistol bullet.

I can't see that there is a huge velocity advantage shooting a .45 over a .50 from your tests, although the .45 does have a little edge. It'll be interesting to see what happens with BH209.
