Anyone pushed the mp 359125 at carbine velocity’s say 1400-1600 fps? Wondering how the hollow point would hold up?

A 168 grain HP from my 357 carbine cast in 1-1-98 at around 1750 fps impact completely disintegrated and the 30 grain gas check and base driving band were found in jug 3. I bet that would tear up a groundhog better than any 22-250.
My NOE truncated cone has HP and a really tiny cup point. The cup point with 3-3-94 air cooled alloy will retain 100% weight up to 1800 fps impact but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be near as accurate as the lee 125-rf that shoots great up to 2100 fps.
You know, I have one and few 9mm carbines to test in. But I never have shot that bullet in them. Don't have a 357mag to try, but I bet it would do precisely how mnewcomb59 suggests. Judging from what I've seen, this HP is really optimized for typical pistol velocities. It would be quite explosive at higher velocities....

I shoot lots of them in the old Rossi 92 and in revolver, one of my favorite group buy molds, up to 6 grains be-86 in 38 spl and up to 9 grains in 357mag. all I use is carnauba red lube sized at .360
