I bought three boxes of loaded Speer Nitrex ammo in .308 Win. with the 165 gr. grand Slam bullet. They shot quite well giving groups equal to the best handload in that very fussy rifle.

I also picked up 200 250 gr. 35 caliber Grand Slam bullets for reloading in my .35 Whelen, but have not shot any yet.
As to how they work on game, here in Arizona, one has to draw a tag in a lottery to be able to hunt. I haven't had a chance to try them on game.

I have also heard that curent Grand Slam bullets are no longer made with the hard core and softer front core, but are more like a conventional bullet. I'm not sure I like that idea. I don't think they changed it to a bonded core type bullet, but I may be way off base on that point.

probably wasn't much help, but that's my experience with them so far.
