I was able to push them to about 2,350 fps.
The velocity that I settled on was about 1,950 fps, using N110.
It functions perfectly for me and maintains 2 - 4 MOA.
In my reading about casting, I have found that alloys with far less Sb and Sn but with some As can be hardened considerably by quenching or heat treating, so since I don't have a convection oven, I chose that quenching route. Keeping the alloy at 96% Pb also keeps it more cost effective since my Pb was almost free and Sb/Sn are expensive. I have another higher alloyed 5% Sb, 3% Sn if the current one fails.
What barrel length was this with, 16" or 10"? Was that 1,950 fps at 17.0 gr of N110?
I was leaning towards a moderate loading with lil-gun or H110 out of a PWS 10.5" barrel. Since I get about 2150-2200 fps for 110 gr jacketed loads, I figured these 130 gr boolits would be plenty fast somewhere around the fps range you settled depending on accuracy.

You're quite right. I purchased 9 colors of powdercoat and figured various colors were appropriate for these CODs. I was even playing with the idea of digging up an old crayola box to put my finished loads in.
