Q3. Do your bullets have any velocity restrictions?
A. In general, our bullets typically perform their best when shot at velocities no greater than 1,200 to 1,250 Feet per second (FPS).

On Rainier's .44 caliber 240gr & .50 caliber 335gr bullets, I've bought in the past, their website used to list the recommended max as 1500fps in the bullet's details. They changed the website & now no details are listed. MidwayUSA still states that speed in their product details.
