Berry's Bullets for Non-SASS Use in .44-40 with REAL BP?

I'm curious if any of you have experience using these bullets in real black powder loads.  They have a hollow point that might make a nice hunting round:

They say their bullets are good up to 1250 FPS and the last time I chrono'd my loads of 200gn Big Lubes over a full case of real BP they were coming out at around 1050.  I wonder if the higher temperatures of real BP might affect their speed limit...?  Might the fouling of previous rounds strip the electroplating off of them?
