i have had some bullet failure (jacket to core separation) with the winchester's. never shot interlokts but I am a firm believer in remington core-lokts, the damage i've seen done by core lokts is just devastating.

I tried the core lokts and just wasn't happy with the grouping.

We were sighting in at 50 yds. I'm just not keen on the soft tips. Something in my mind tells me those little dings on the tips affect the flight of the bullet. Just my opinion thought.

core lokts are the best bang for your buck. thats all i shot out of my 308 and i can get them touching at 50 yards. for hunting you really cant go wrong, every animal i have shot with them either drop or run maybe 20 yards.

i did shoot a buck with a federal premium bonded bullet and it acted like a full metal jacket, i will never do that again. |

RD…..I too have wondered about the long range effect of the somewhat less than smooth tips on the Cor-lock bullets. Has anyone ever tried smoothing out [sharpen?] the tips of a Cor-lock bullet? What effect did this have on the bullet accuracy? Did the bullet perform the same when shooting a Deer? |

getting a bullet that is out of balance and this could cause you to have ammo that you can not even put on paper much less count on when hunting. same thing can happen if you start fooling around w/ the hollow in a hollow point bullet. |

I have been using Federal Premium Nosler ballistic tips 130 grain 270 for the past few years and have not had to track any game...These things really do a number on em and group really good out of my gun...
