Bounty Hunter,

The Barnes X bullets are designed to stay together at any speed, so you do not have to worry about them blowing up. They are 100% copper and usually retain 99 to 98% of their weight. I shoot 150 gr. Barnes XLC bullets out of my .300 Win Mag and haven't had a problem with them yet. I killed two bucks at 100 yards and two does at 250 yards with them and they worked just fine in all four instances.

So, to answer your question, use the 3,200 fps load with the Barnes bullet and you should be fine.
