    Not quite the velocity you're looking for but found the following with Trail Boss, CCI primers, 55gr V-Max. Howa 1500/ 16" barrel, Sonic 45 suppressor.
    8.5gr TB :1678fps av vel. 204fps ES, 105fps SD. Accuracy so so.
    8.0gr TB :1725fps av vel. 56fps ES, 28fps SD. Accurate load.
    Using 8.0gr load on goats around sensitive areas successfully.
    Have also tried H322/AR2219 15.6gr: 1738fps av vel. 67fps ES, 37fps SD. Works alright but decided to go with TB as had a reasonable amount on hand at the time.
