We shoot full pins at 25' against the clock. I have found mass, not speed clears the pin off the table. I use my 627 pro when I shoot revolver and have some 160+ grain SWC's I was given that work pretty good loaded to under 1K fps with HS-6 or CFE. Penn bullets has some 230gr. "thunderheads" that many swear by, but I have yet to try them. What I see a lot is somebody shows up with a 44 mag and wonders why it doesn't clear the table. The high velocity has the bullet exit out the back of the pin putting no energy into it. It just falls over and rolls around.
Have to admit my best pin gun is a Sig 1911 5" with 230gr. coated RN load with WST. Probably 800 to 850 fps. Hit the pin just below the fattest part. You can hear it smack the pin as it comes up an inch or two and goes straight back off the table still upright.
