yeah but i don't wanna take the chance. because if a 12 point walks out the last thing i am worried about is meat destruction. on other deer ust gotta choose good shot placement and pray it plays out without to much damage

get federal accubonds or the barnes. expensive but well worth the money. i like the core lokts for anything under 200.

I have killed deer with ballistic tips and core lock. Both have killed my deer for me. I can shoot both at 200yrds and only 1/4" difference with 150 grain in the 30-06.

I have only killed 3 deer and killed them all with ballistic tip none just drop but i think it was more on me and shot placement.....

I shoot ballistic tips in my 30-06 and I have only had one that ran since I switched I love them hope I don't have your problems

My uncle had a perfect shot on a monster buck up in Nebraska, but he never found anything but a couple drops of blood. The property owner looked for a few days after he left and they never found it. He was shooting a 7mm ballistic tip. I'm not sure of the brand though. I shoot 130 gr Federal Sierra Game Kings or Core Lokts in my .270.

Wish I could find the video I was looking for but it shows several different bullets being fired into ballistic gel. The ballistic tip performed poorly. It basically desintegrated on impact and had little penetration.

I shot 2 deer (does) both with Remington Core Loct with a .270, the only tracking I had to do was back to the camp to get the four wheeler.

My brother was shooting 140 grain ballistic tips in his 7mm-08 and having to track deer further than he thought he should have to. One bullet went in behind the shoulder and came out straight down out the bottom of the chest and the deer ran quite a ways. After that he switched to Core Loks and he loves them. He's killed about 80 deer with them and just raves about them. I used his gun to kill two deer about a month ago and both dropped on the spot with complete penetration. They are just a tough, dependable bullet.

i hunt in thick timber and swamps all we shoot is 180 grain remington core locks through our 30-06 and have never had a deer run off

where the hell has duckman been??

I not sure but I am curious as to why he kept callin his spike a she?:confused:

I just re-read this thread.

Not one single "BAD" remark about Cor-Lock bullets......most people like them, no or little tracking, they are cheeper than other bullets........................................... ...........


Yet, hunters buy other bullets [$$$].........and complain when the Deer runs off and they have a hard time finding it.

core lokts are the shiznit .three deer and numerous hogs.dead in there tracks. thank the lord cus i cant track worth snot

I shoot cheap winchester bullets in my 7mm mag. I killed 4 deer last year , 2 at 300 yards. 8 pt made it about 20 yards, the other one dropped in his tracks. Ive shot different kinds of bullets. its all about shot placement.

i have had jacket/core separation (bullet failure) with the powerpoint winchesters in a 7 rem mag.
