Never had a problem using Core-Lokts or Winchester Power Points. I cannot see the point in paying more for ammo than neccessary when the longest shots that we take around here is only about 120 yards.
I agree. I have never had a deer survive a cor-lokt, interlockor a power point ifI kept up my end of the deal. I have had people online chastise me from time to time saying things like, "With all that we spend on hunting why skimp on the cheapest aspect of hunting, your bullets?" My answer, when they stop working then I'll start buying the more expensive bullets. Quite frankly I think that they have gotten some of these premum bullets too tough for your average deer. My buddy shot a doe 40 yards away with a Barnes x-bullet out of a 7mm mag last year. Man do they rave about those bulletsat some of the online websites dominated bythe self proclamed shooting elite. Places like 24hourcampfire.com. That doe ran a 100 yards into a thicket after being shot right behind the shoulder. It took him hours to find her because there was no blood trail from the caliber sized entrance hole and the virtually same sized exit hole. Now you tell me how that's better bulletperformance than a cor-lokt, interlock, or power point? Is that performance worth paying more than twice as muchmoney per box of shells? I don't think so and neither does my buddy who has since went back to cor-lokts.
