    I have them doing 2600fps in my 20" 308 and downed a yearling red at 470yds recently I was more than happy with the terminal performance. Yearling reared up at being hit, did a wobbly turn on the spot then collapsed, bullet didn't pass through was found under skin on far side shed most of it'score and dumped all it's energy in the engine room , massive bleeding from entry wound, Vitals were mush heart and lungs shredded.
    Only shot one animal so far, happy to keep using them for now
