Looks a lot like every ballistic tip I've ever shot into jugs. 50% weight retention, 2x expansion, and jacket/core separation. Not a better deer bullet out there...
 
I load these for my 6.5 Grendel at about 2450 fps. I wonder how well they perform at a slower speed. They are extremely accurate.

I'm sure it will mushroom nicely if keeping the impact velocity above 1800 fps.
