They can be pushed much faster than 1400fps. You just cant push them at MAGNUM charges at a deer at 30 yards away. Like ive said before, my 295g and 245g powerbelts driven by 150g LOOSE powder and 120g Loose powder did excellent on the deer that i shot from 148 and 146 yards away.
Just my experience Gander, I know you feel otherwise. I am reporting my results and recommendations, just as you are. The person who asks the question gets to make the decision what they will use in their new gun. I shot them, I know for me they are not the bullets that hold together at high speeds, therefore I will not shoot them nor will I recommend someone asking for advice on new guns and bullets to shoot them. Give them your shooting experiments and let them make the determination. The facts will speak for themselves, appears the new Platinuum are a bit tougher and don't pancake out as bad at 100g. Most guys want to shoot 100g of pellets in an inline, so they need a bullet that won't fragement, in my personal experience that is a Nosler Partion or a Barnes or a Speer Gold Dot in my opinion. Your free to give your opinion and let the buyer determination what he wants to use. Chap
