i hate the core lokt bullet because the jacket tends to seperate from the bullet when it hits something hard. the ballistic tip can explode at close range on bone. If you want a bonded soft point bullet, go with these:Winchester Fail Safe, Nosler Partition(always a safe bet for anything), Hornady Interlock, Or Barnes X Bullet or Triple shock. For a polymer tipped round, stick with the bonded core bullets like the Nosler Accubond and hornady Interbond. Based on personal experience and seeing bullet effects in person on roughly75-85 deer, these are the bullets i can recommend to you.
