They do exhibit multiple accuracy nodes as you progress up through different velocities, repeating about every 200fps but that was from a 1:24, 20" barrel. Not sure what a higher twist rate barrel will do at higher velocity. At 35gr Lil Gun they are a pleasant plinking round, even for recoil shy shooters.

hornady has also likewise advised on the 250gr xtp (#45200) is designed for max use in 45 colt applications. as such their concern is more about base deformation leading to pressure spikes when fired at higher rifle velocity's. I'd have to imagine a similar caution should be taken with the 200gr XTP as well.
just some food for thought. as always play safe and work up slowly and remember to have fun along the way

I stand corrected. I was looking at the 240gr XTP Mag bullets that Midway has on sale and had them on my mind when I spoke. i would not take the non-Mag versions up above 1500fps, even in my 1:24 barrel.
Sorry for the bad advice.

With prntscr.com, for some reason, when the url invokes the secure socket (https) only the author can see the image. Changing it to simple http fixes that. At least that's been my experience. it may be a browser specific issue. I'm using the current release of Firefox. Its not the first time I've edited your image links to make them visible. Strange to hear that now the author can't see it.
