Barnes TSX tipped bullet? Might be your answer.

Or nosler partition...

Or swift A-frames...man you are cranking them out at 3500fps...would be concerned with conventional bullets 100 yards or less just acting like a varmint bullets and exploding if a should was hit not getting penetration...had this happen with my STW used Speer 140gr and they acted like thin skinned varmint bullets...settled on Barnes X bullets. Never recovered one freezer full for many years...
