It's been one of my go to bullets in anything moving up to 3000 fps for many years. The only time I can say one definitely failed was a 139 gr 7mm from the unluckiest 7mm-08 rifle ever. It blew up on a rib for no particular reason. That same bullet has taken a pile of whitetail when shot at the same speed from a 7 mauser, so,like I said, bad luck rifle.
