Sierra 180gr .308” RN

This will be a long shot, I know, but never hurts to ask. Has anybody used the Sierra 180gr 30 caliber RN bullet on game, with a starting muzzle velocity around 1900fps?

Ive worked up a load for my 30-40 krag with this bullet. It is a very accurate load, but my muzzle velocity is averaging 1915fps. I’m worried that this bullet may be too tough for this load, and may not get good expansion on game. Shots would be inside 100yds. According to my ballistics app, this bullet will lose approximately 50fps every 25 yards. Muzzle velocity 1915, @50yds 1815, @100yds 1715.

Does anyone have any practical experience with this bullet in a similar situation?
