See i think he under sold me. I asked about ballistic and boat tails and he told me they come apart alot faster than the normal soft point with a flat base. I rarely make a shot over 150 yrds that is why he primarily told me to lean towards the flat based bullets.

I only get to rifle hunt maybe 5 times a year...the rest is with a bow or slug gun.

I believe you are right about the core loct killing alot of deer. I just would like to get some better accuracy and some more consistant performance out of the bullet. I am not confident in the remington if i have to line up on a trophy whitetail...$2.00 a shot is nothing for piece of mind in the woods. I am just tryin to get to the point where i no longer am worried about my rifle accuracy or the bullet performance that is going to take the time and some $$...UnlessI get lucky....lol
