RE: Core-Loct fails me again!
I don't believe there's any such bullet that kills deer in their tracks all the time.......
In fact, the Core-loct and power point bullets are good deer bullets, but there's a reason all the bullet companys have been forced to bonded bullets...the customer wants them.
In my opinion the best bullet leaves a tennis ball size exit hole so that you have a good blood trail to follow. The way to achieve that is heavier bullets and if you wish bonded or particians. Even that is no guarantee however, This fall I killed a big doe whitetail using a 200 grain Swift A-Frame and it didn't exit. It did leave a blood trail that a blind man could follow and the doe was found in abput thirty yards.
Give the Nosler Particians a try in about 160 grains.
