Default RE: Federal Fusion vs. Core-Lokt's

I have killed some deer with both. The Fusion 130 grain bullets are accurate out of my .270, so they got the nod last year. The deer died just the same as the one killed with the Core-lokt bullet the year before. They both held together well, penetrated through bone, and exited the deer allowing for what I assume would have been easy blood trail tracking (neither went anywhere, they dropped immediately)

FWIW, both shots were at around 80-100 yards, and both deer were around 200-220 pounds.

I reload the Core-Lokts for my .30-30, as they seem to be more accurate out of that rifle than the Fusion loads. I would shoot whichever one is more accurate, because they'll both kill deer and hogs deader than dead.
