I think you're blaming the bullet for some bad shooting. I shot core lokts in both my 270 and 30 06 for many years. I can recall loosing only one deer in over 60 years. I'm pretty sure it was a bad shot. I would guess that every bullet on the market today would do the job if it is put in the right place.I've witnessed several animals deer/elk get wounded and never recovered from a .300 2 different lobbing sissy 30.06 and a 7mm all shooting core lokts I will take a hard pass on them!

Good thing you had two kinds of ammo on the goat mountain. mtmuleyJust so everyone knows I've never shot them!
It's other people that I watched that never recovered the animals shooting them.
I forgot to mention my nephew 2 years ago went to shoot a goat 4 straight bullets never fired out of a brand new box of core Lokts!
we handed him some federal's
For the same gun and the goat died so we know it wasn't the guns fault
Explain that one?
Hahaha goat as in antelope.Good thing you had two kinds of ammo on the goat mountain. mtmuley
Well, I've killed more "goats" with a Core-Lokt than your nephew. While I agree we have better bullet choices now than in years past, if a Core-Lokt is all I could get, I'm killing stuff. mtmuleyHahaha goat as in antelope.
no mnts involved just lots of desert!
Pics don't mean much. I haven't used factory ammo to kill a big game animal in over 30 years. I killed a bunch as a poor kid with Core-Lokts. mtmuleyA few more bulls out of the .270 with FEDERAL ammo!
