Yep, even the 325-gr/.458 brass FN of CEB with a BBW#13 nose shape projecting 0.6" ahead of first band is better than the old 500-gr/.458 RN FMJ "solid,"
even at same impact velocity, even at 2000 fps or less.
Lessons from MIB.

Here is the WFN copper Lehigh 380-grainer.
The sharp-edged, ~.35-caliber meplat may not penetrate as deeply as the BBW#13 nose profile,
but it will track straight
and dump energy faster, put more hurt on a big brown bear not needing as much penetration as an elephant.
It still does plenty of penetrating.
Feeds in my bolt actions if I keep them seated deeply enough.
That was the only surprise about this bullet for me:
