10-15grs of blue dot works well with any of the pistol bullets. IIFC 125HP can only go about 2200fps before it becomes a .358 shotgun but is incredible to hit small furry things with and offers minimal recoil. <snip>
I have a .358 Norma Mag and shoot a lot of pistol bullets through it.
I don't have access to my loading notes, but I have got the Hornady 125gr HP bullets up to about 3000fps with them still hanging together. However, I have an extremely smooth barrel (made by Border, if anyone cares) which I think helps a lot.
Better accuracy is found at about 2800fps, but accuracy is still one of the worst from my rifle (about 1.5 MOA with about 1 shot of 10 being a flyer still further out). The fact that the bullet has the ballistic co-efficient of an aspirin tablet means that this is no long range load, so I use it sometimes anyway just for fun at the range.
Varmintsinc is correct about the damage that these pistol do to furry mammals! I shot a fox with sarcoptic mange and just about cut it in half.
