This heavy for caliber bullet exits with excellent wound channels. Before anyone trashes this bullet read these two links:

This thread features the 300 win mag with the 230 gr hybrid OTM which is constructed the same as the 230 match hybrid target just shorter for short magazine application and a slightly lower BC. Same performance.

This is the way I would go. Im getting 3100fps out of mine with h1000 , shooting a hybrid ,feeding from a wyatts mag. deadly combo. Bob Carlock turned me onto this combo. Got a black bear at 1120 , flattened it.
