Just a couple of observations and questions?

What bullet and load was the gun previously sighted in for?

I ask that because your 10m/200 xtp target looks right on... then when you look at the Lehigh's they are obviously high! But, I have to tell you that is exactly what I have found. So my question and has been, do they fly that much better and show less drop?

The second grouping of 185's - shots 6-10 show a lot of promise and maybe a little more fooling with the powder volume might really settle them in there.

I was out with the Knight elite 45 shooting for velocities the other day. Shot this target @ 60 yards with 200 grain Lehigh's. It look like I might be able to shoot them in a 1/30 twist if I figure out what load might be the best. When you look at the glob of shots with 110-130 grains of BH - it looks like one of those powder loads or maybe even all of them might work... I have not given up on the 200 yet...



At the end of the day I did also shoot 3 185's with a 110 grains of BH and they were in a group under and inch. Want to work with them a bit more also...

sabotloader,
It was sighted in for the 200gr XTPs. My only guess is they shoot very flat. I will find that out later, I guess.

You're confusing your bullets. Too many powder volume changes. Even a 777 thrown in there. They just give up and go into the target . Seems as long as you hit 90gr or better your good to go!
