What is the fastest you have ran Rainier Plated Bullets without issues?

I've loaded the .357 158gr HP over 1100fps through a 4"'gp100 accurate without problems.

way too far I'm certain! I was pushing some 125gn hp's and 158 rnfp's upwards of 1300-1400fps + before I knew better. No problems.

But I try to stay at or below 1100 nowadays, I've shot almost exclusively Rainiers my whole pistol reloading life with no problems.

I try to keep lead and plated pistol bullets to 1200 fps a below. They tend to lead the bore up more above 1000 fps. and damn sure do at 1200 and beyond.
