Im only guessing but i would bet its possible to get the Lehigh 305gr in the 2200fps range without too much effort.
Wow!! - I did not know it was that slow, so you are probably right - it might be to slow...

2200 - should not be a reall problem - I am shooting them at 1950 with 120 T7.

Also remember I am loading them in a sabot and they are an extremly smooth loading. I really am impressed with the bullet.

One of the big differences between it and the normal 300 grain Bloodline is the nose of the bullet. It is stronger and thicker. It will operate as designed down to around 1100 fps - which easily gets me to 200 yards...
