I've had one or another 40 caliber pistol around for 25 years and have shot many from a rest at 50 yards. Glock 22s and 23s were typically good for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches for 5 shots using Federal or Remington generic JHP or good reloads, sorted by headstamp. This was using the stock trigger and sights, neither of which are conducive to fine shooting. By comparison, I could usually herd 5 shots into 2 to 3 inches with my 4" Model 29.
Federal HST proved particularly accurate. 170-175 grain SWCs, of the same profile Mack is using, shot really well for me across a number of pistols; and big groundhogs, raccoons & coyotes hit lengthwise with them just fold up. I was running them 900 fps and shooting through everything mentioned. At 1200 fps they should penetrate really well.
