If you could find load data for it in .30-06, I'd say Hornady's 100gr SJ- I've loaded them to 2300 f/sec for a 30/30 and the are downright splatty on p-dogs and milk jugs .... dunno what they'd do at 2700+ f/sec .....

It's a soft lead round nose bullet press fit into a longish gas check .... when they hit a milk jug full of water @ 100-200 yards, the lead fragments into coarse sand sized particles- we find them in the tattered remains of the plastic jugs .... never found any part of the short jackets ...
