There is a sticky thread about these in this very forum. Click the link and scroll down to post 18:

Barnes says the 115gr should expand down to 1600 fps on game, but in ballistic gel they need to be around 1900 fps for reliable expansion. The Barnes chopper bullets are devastating on game in just about every caliber - as long as they have enough velocity - usually at ~1800 fps or faster, but that varies some per bullet weight/caliber. I'm a big fan of the 62gr and 70gr in 5.56 and have the 100gr and 115gr on my list to try in 6.5 Grendel.
