I need to amend this list...
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?

Thanks again to everyone for the information. I ordered almost everything that has been suggested and will see what the most accurate combination will be.
Sorry if my replies are a little short. I am posting from my mobile.
Thank you all,
Michael

Here's how i see it, if you have some .250 TEZ barnes bullets and you shoot a T/C and 100 grs powder.that bullet is extremely accurate no question there. if you want softer lead for the wife and the boy due to light powder charges then a XTP is a good choice and costs far less than a power belt.later on you can experiment with the .250 gold dot/deep curl for your T/C in .50 cal or .40 cal and maybe the wifes .and eventually your boys when your able to up his powder load later.and a longer list of quality bullets to try later. my.02.

Thank you sir, the compliment is very much appreciated. The little guy is obsessed with hunting and accuracy. He is not happy with his results but I could not be more proud of him.
