Ive experimented about with the 0.401" 180gr HHP and with a stout but not excessive load of BlueDOT I can get velocities close to 1300fps(still in the cast bullet range). This along with benched groups in the 1" range at 30 yds. The primary purpose was to see if the bullets were useable for deer sized animals. I could shoot them at PB range into a deer's skull and the bullet would go thru a citron(hard melon) and imbed itself in hard ground. They would loose about 25% weight but otherwise remained intact. The excellent accuracy is truly an eyeopener.
