Is anyone using the sierra gameking 165 hollow point boat tail in .308 win? (Sierra 2140)

I just picked up an x bolt speed in 308 and planned to shoot eldm but it doesn’t care for them much so I had these game kings on the shelf and loaded some up and have now shot a few sub moa groups
. Before I order up enough to really start shooting and practicing with I want to see what the opinion of this bullet is.
Sierra says it’s a harder bullet than the soft point spritzer game king so that has me a little worried that I’d have issues of it opening maybe out at 400+ and just penciling through.
My muzzle velocity is about 2760 and running a quick ballistics chart shows it still over 1800fps at 500 yards at 8500 feet where I usually hunt.
Plan is mainly elk but could include deer and antelope.
