While not as high a velocity as the cartridges you’re looking at, I used them for a few years in a 375 ruger. Nothing short of excellent results. No recovered bullets, no explosions even when penetrating heavy bone. I’d say my velocities were in the 2700-2800 range.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for the reply all info helps,the average speed is 3180 fps so maybe some penetration tests are in order,does any have any advice for such a test,all I can think of is dry phone books tapped together and about 40 inches thick ?????

I have used exactly two on game from my 375 Ruger started at 2800 fps.
One was a Tom cougar and the other was a coastal BC grizzly. Neither bullet stayed in the animals. Very impressive hole through the grizz.
