RE: rem.core lokt for elk
I tend to agree here with ElkKamp here. The core-lokt bullet is designed for deer and other smaller sized thin skinned animals. There is no doubt that people have killed elk with this bullet and that is will continue to kill elk. However, you have to figure in the worst case senario when elk hunting. A core-lokt is going to "blow-up" from time to time particularly on a direct shoulder shot, into a rib, on a quartering toward type shot, at 300 yards.
My understanding is the core-lokt ultra is a bonded bullet that won't "blow-up." When hunting elk, particularly as a non-resident, why wouldn't you spend an extra $10 on a premium bullet, when already spending at a minimum $1500 and usually more like $4000?
Just my 2 cents
