I think you may have opened a can of worms here. The reason I'm curious centers around my decision to shoot 50/40s (only) at the range in the spring of 2015.
Its not so much the weight as it is the length of the bullet. The 200gr Bloodline is longer than a Barnes 195gr or the 200gr SST.
Now if you had a 1-20 or even a 1-24 twist, you could probably be just fine with loads under 100gr of T7 or BH209. I have not tested this in my Savage 1-24 but in a 1-20 45 it appears to be the case.
I really doubt a 1-28 would be enough for a 200gr Bloodline without using full power loads of 100gr or more.
