Any out there that can report on the terminal performance of this bullet? I am thinking of using it in a 6.5 Creedmoor out to 600 yards. If you are using this bullet I would be interested on your load and powder as well.

Thank you
 
I am running them at 2800 in a very accurate mild load in 6.5 saum.
Took two Black bears this week with it.
One, 200 yds facing me at 45*, bullet broke the leading shoulder and fragmented in the chest. Dropped on the spot, kicked for a few seconds and was done. 250lb boar.
Second bear,
275 yds perfect broadside shot, broke one rib at entrance, major damage to heart/lungs 2" exit hole.
Did a back flip when hit, got up and made it 40yds before going down for good. 225 lb sow.
I have been very happy with these bullets, they were very easy to load for and seem to perform very well on game.
