First, thank you for the data, much appreciated and I use a lot of AA#7...some your loads are a WEE bit in excess of published maximums from the most recent data from the powder manufacturer. Max of max for 124 is 7.9, for the Golden Sabre. Some +P loads are listed and the max there is 8.3 grains, again, for the 124 grain Golden Sabre bullet . I know the older data showed much higher powder charges, but after Accurate reformulated their powders a few years ago, they brought those numbers down considerably. I load my SD "training" ammo at 8 grains of #7 and get about 1150 FPS, IIRC, (not near home computer), with the 124 grain XTP, which is the only SD bullet we have widely available locally.
I would just add the caveat to your data that it's academic use only and replicate at your own risk. Again, I do appreciate the effort, thank you - I would never be able to afford the Lehigh Defenders, myself, so that is nice to know.
