Anybody try the Barnes 110gr TAC-TX bullet in a .308?

I've been kicking around trying these in my .308. I realize they're optimised for the Blackout, but being sold copper, I don't see why they wouldn't hold together at .308 velocities in deer or coyotes. Most of my shooting/hunting would be short range, maybe 200 yards max. Just wanted to see if anybody has tried them.

I shoot them out of my 300 RSAUM at 3600fps without issue. I've been working on a load with that bullet in my 308 as well. So far, I'm getting .6" groups and good speed. (IDK what it is right off hand.)
 
110 grain Barnes tsx at 3500 fps is a great load for anything smaller than bear or pig.
I get consistent results under 300 yards.
I have to load cooper because of the condor issues in Cali.
Therefor I have loaded 110's,150's, and 200 grain TSX and they all did the job very well.
I will normally always have the 150's in the chamber for deer and bear as I hunt both at the same time.
When only hunting bear in late season I only carry the 200 grain.
If I have time I will load a 200 grain in the chamber for the bear.
If I see a coyote or a deer at long range (over 300) I will chamber a 110 grain.
110's at 3500 fps-zero at 100 yd will drop 2 in at 200 and 4 in at 300yd.
150's at 2750 fps-zero 100 yd will drop 3 in at 200 and 6 in at 300 yd.
It gives me a lot of options it does not mean that It is done deal.
I still have to do my part.
