XTP, Lehigh and H&G #38 Testing

I finally got to the range and got some testing done. I will try to post velocities, SD, and charges when I get home. Here are the sneak peaks. XTP worked better than I thought it could. The cast hollowpoints didn't group at all. The Lehighs gave me a useable load. I can't afford to waste more on load development. They are the center group in the pic below.

I have used the Lehigh with 296 and they work really well in an Encore. How fast are the 90's? Wonder if they will work at sub speed.

Did the 90 XTP's feed from the magazine?

I've run the 90 xtp's in the 300wtf, they feed in my Howa bolt gun with the factory stock / mag setup but they do not feed from a stock for the same gun that has a CDI bottom metal / removable mag setup. They also do not feed in my ar15.
