RE: BALISTIC TIP OR CORELOCK
If you are loading your own then you should say so in your orig. post as the gentleman who ask a question was asking about factory loaded ammo.
I bought that rifle last year and only shot two deer with it. Neither left blood behind. That'sall I needed to see to know that I didn't like the Ballistic Tips. The rest I shot were with a shotgun in the swamp all of which dropped in their tracks. Of course our NC deer aren't as big as the Canadian deer.
Anyway yours is bigger and better than mine. Do you feel better now?
