The old W-W Lubaloy 200 gr .38 "Manstopper" that we ran across the screens clocked in the range of 600-650 fps from a 4".
It's no doubt possible to push a 200 gr to the 1100-1200 fps speeds, but I won't be running them thru any of my guns. If anyone wants to try that loading in their .38 guns make sure you take a video. I just love watching a good train wreck.
