I would take the Barnes and the Lehigh off the list - they both need velocity.

So I am back to the Speer 40/180 Deep Curl and adding the Hornady 40/200 grain XTP - probably using the Harvester 5040 CR sabot - Blue Crush rib

Both of these bullets will open very well at lower velocities... the bif difference the Deep Curl is bonded the Hornady is not - but it is still a very good bullet.

Both of these reduce recoil significantly and possibly to the point you might even boost your powder load.... + you get a 100 bullets per box at a really decent price.

What is your current powder load - for yourself?
