I've used that bullet and seen it used many, many times by friends who shoot .308's and 30/06's. I never seen that bullet break up too fast. Even on close in shots. I think that the jackets are pretty hard. I've seen four mature bull elk taken with it at 350, 488, 540 and 630 yards. Two were broadside rib shots and two were shoulder shots. The rib shot bulls were dead on their feet and never went more than 20 yards. The front shouldered bulls were dropped instantly and never moved. The bullet broke both shoulders and left a 1.5" exit holes on both of them.

Both of the .308's that I hunt with, drive that bullet at 2950fps. It's an incredibly accurate bullet.

I can post some pictures of those bulls, if you want to have a look.
