MK318 Mod 0 SOST Terminal Performance

So far, there has been very little information released regarding the ammunition that I can find. From what I have been able to gather:

-III Soft body-armor does nothing to stop or slow it.
-It is not yaw-dependant.
-The front portion of the projectile from the top-band up fragments, and the copper "shank" continues to penetrate.
-The "neck" of the wound-tract is extremely short, reminiscent of Hornady T2 or MK262.
-Accuracy is equal or better than M855.
-Actual tested velocity is roughly 2900fps from a 14.5" carbine.

Here is a picture of a block of gel:

If anyone has any more information regarding this ammo, I am curious to hear it. Just ordered a case. Please be gentle if you think it sucks. I have an emotional investment now

Curious:

-Minimum terminal velocity for reliable fragmentation?
-Performance comparison to M855 on homogeneous hard-targets at distance?
-Field use impressions?
