In our ML season i am required to shoot a full bore lead conical, so I shoot a .503-460 grain Bull Shop with 90 grains of T7. That gives me a velocity of 1500-1550 fps for a 460 grain bullet!!!. That thing is a freight train and hits just as hard.. At a 100 the 460 carries 1608 FPE and a 300 grain Lehigh brings 1591 FPE with it, and at 200 yard the Bull Shop has 1220 FPE of energy left while the 300 grain Lehigh at 200 yards has 1105 FPE left - but the Lehigh gets there a whole lot faster in both cases...
