When I shot pins, I used 45 ACP loads with 230 TC cast bullet and 5.5 gr 231 from my 7" AMT Hardballer which was good for 900 fps. Always took the pins straight off if I hit center, would skid off usually if I hit slightly off-center.

Solid center hits are very important. We had a new guy show up one day with his duty 4" 38 Special S&W just to have some fun. He scored good center hits and did not fail to take a pin off the table using his duty 38 Special ammo. Accuracy first, thump second.
