I never really shot enough of them to have an opinion and don't believe I ever hunted with one...but one of my brothers had similar experiences with coreloct's...180g from an -06 a couple of times on elk/deer. He quickly gave up on them. I have friend who also had a bad experience with them on a Pronghorn hunt from a 7mm mag. That being said, I do have another friend who swears by them (but not sure he's ever actually killed anything....ever...LOL).
