    Yep I was using them at around 3000fps too but out of 308.....vaporised bunnys and possums.....goats didnt argue, only shot a few deer with them but neck/rib lung shots worked well.
    Of the bullets I have used it would be my pick for varmiting because it just always seams to shoot well no matter the rifle and is extremely frangible.
