One good thing about the ultra corelokt is its still cheaper than most premium bullets and you can use the same bullett for both deer and elk and dont have to worry about siteing in your rifle using 130 grain bullets for deer then resiting it in for 150 bulletts for elk. That gets old. This 140 ultra corelokt is a good inbetween bullett that will work well for both animals. I wouldnt buy premium bulletts to hunt just strictly deer either but when hunting both ill spend a little more. there only about 6 dollars more than the 130 grain federal soft points i use for deer anyway. Were not talking about magnum bullets here that cost 35 dollars a box.
