Dan,

The "hog cannon" is still unchecked, but as the hogs get closer to being a problem here, that will probably change!

1200 fps is barely supersonic and many would consider that to be transonic, or at least dropping below supersonic speeds pretty quickly after leaving the muzzle. Whatever, it doesn't seem to hurt the accuracy, but I haven't shot them out further than 100 yards.

You asked about "pointy" bullets, here's a picture of Speer 220 gr and Hornady 200 gr in .357 Mag brass compared to a 125 gr.

Since they were seated to the cannelure, they aren't very long compared to the 250 gr. In fact, they look almost normal. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I shot these much faster than the 1200 fps cast bullet.
