There was a thread not too long ago that listed some bullets and their RPM tolerances. I can't find it in a search, I wonder if someone could direct me to that please.

The reason I ask is that I like Speer 50gr TNT's and 52gr HP's. I'm trying to find out if they can handle 3200fps in a 1 in 8" barrel. I'm thinking maybe not.
Thanks.

That's going to be 288,000 RPM. It might be a bit much for that bullet.
