Agreed. Even if it had a more generously tapered thickness jacket (easy to make even if they insist on using lead inside) and would help alot of folks and they would be better suited for a wider range of FPS which would work even better for the close and longer shots (within responsible reasoning).
I'm running the 215 SGK at about 2700 fps through my 338-06. I emailed them to find out how stout I could expect this bullet to be and was told by Rich Machholz that the jacket is the same as the one they use on their 250 gr GK, but shortened. Should be plenty stout or about anything up to elk or moose, but alas, I'll be using mine on whitetails this fall. Maybe mulies next fall...
Every tool has its purpose, and if you use it in the way it was designed you should reasonably expect the results you seek. 2700 fps for a cup'n'core is well within the design specifications.
As someone else said, I'm sure you could start threads just like this on Speers, Hornadys, and Noslers.
