expansion or lack of it could be a problem if the bullet is built for .308W speeds.
if it was me i would get a stack of soaking wet newspaper at least a foot thick, more would be better and do some tests before i tried them on animals. That is the method i used when testing cast bullets, while not perfect it does give you an idea of performance.

good luck . . R
