No they will not work except in a lowly .30-30. You must use a mono metal bullet or at the very least a partition type in more powerful rifles. I use a 170 Nosler Solid Base at 2400 fps out of my .30'06. Hard to beat in the woods where range is under 100 yards.


Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths.
