One of my favorite.... Lehigh 40/200 grain 110 grains T7...
That 200 traveling @ 2200-2300 fps makes quite an impression when it gets where it is going...
Problem is if you go to light you loose energy very quickly. So they become less effective at longer ranges. Stacking powder doesn't work that well either as the bullet is out the barrel before all the powder can be burnt. Now if you had powder like smokeless that you could choose different rates of burn you might really be able to do something...
