I used the Barnes 225 grain TSX at 2550 fps out of my 22" Remington 700 (originally 30-06, rebored by JES ). I've taken a Sitka blacktail, a Michigan whitetail, and a Kodiak Island Brown bear with ii. No bullets recovered. I'm very happy with its performance, knocks deer size game off their feet. The bear took 2 hits to put down.
