I agree.......I have shot the Core-locks for 20+ years in my .243.
I don't know why so many people spend a lot more money on bullets that don't always get the job done.
Over the years, I have made a few "missed placed" shots, but the bullet still killed the deer. A few years ago, I shot a Buck while it was moving fairly fast. I stopped it once, but could not get a shot. It would not stop again and I took the shot in the next opening. The bullet hit high....between the lungs and the Backstrap. What would expect the out come of this shot....with "only" a 100 gr .243 cal. rifle @ 60 yd distance?
The 150 lb buck dropped like a rock......and never moved.
The exception might be for shooting long range [250+ yard ???]. The rough looking tip on the Core-lock bullets, just dosen't look like it would be accurate at longer distances.
