I loaded 18 of the 130 grain Speer Hollow points on top of a mild load of BLC-2 getting around 2900 fps out of my 26 inch barrel. Took them and the Encore out to my hundred yard range, got them hitting 1 inch high with 6 shots and then ran one into 2 1 gallon milk jugs full of water. Absolutely flattened the first jug, opened up the second with only one fragment going through the back side of it. I think I found a soft enough bullet!
