Anybody shot a critter with a GMX? How'd it do?

I've used the GMX the Barnes TTSX and the Nosler E-tip. Similar performance from all three. They all retain most of their weight upon recovery (rare). I think Barnes is the best of the lot, they started cutting grooves in the shank to reduce copper fouling and reduce pressures. The Barnes shoot best out of my rifles. But I have a new (to me) Remington 660 in .243...I'll have to see what works best in it.
.308
Never tried a non-lead bullet before. I'm kinda thinking of some things to try that I wouldn't mind shooting a bull elk with. I've had trouble getting partitions to group before so I'm just exploring what's out there a little. As time allows.
Worst performaning bullet I've ever used. Pencil holes through elk, mule deer and antelope. No blood trails and extended death runs by animals. I shot five big game animals one fall before I gave up on them.

Get some Hammers. mtmuley
Yup. They worked.
Started using Hornady factory GMX loads in two rifles a couple years ago.
My 7x57, in 139 grain has accounted for a WTD doe.
My wife's 7mm08 in 139 grain has taken two whitetail bucks.
7x57 is a Ruger #1 international, 7mm08 is a Winchester 70 featherweight.
Both rifles do well on paper with the loads.
