My 9th Edition Hornady manual lists the upper end suggested speed of this bullet at 1400 ft/sec, FYI. The suggested speed ranges of their bullets can be found in their manuals in the section describing all their bullets.
I recently loaded those same bullets with 16.0 grains of Blue Dot with a WLP primer and they chronoed at an average of 1418 ft/sec out of a 6 1/2" barrel 629-3 Classic. Recoil was fairly stout but not real abusive of my 64 year old hands and arm. Temps were in the high 80's that day, for reference.
