Not sure where the guy was coming from. Yep, Barnes makes fine bullets. This design retains practcally 100% of its weight, mushrooms great and is usually found only in "premium" factory hunting ammo. In fact, I use their sabot made for 50 cal muzzle loaders. Works superb. But Good Lord only knows how many white tails have been killed with various calibers of the Remington Corelokt bullet ... from 25 cal. to 45 cal. Your 30.06 Spr. groupiog great with Rem. Express Core Lokt, you are good to go.
