I only use corelokts for 6.5 mm plinking loads. I was able to buy a box of 500 for about $40 a few years ago. They aren't as accurate as SMK's but are a whole lot cheaper to use for plinking. Would I buy more for plinking loads? Sure.

I wouldn't have any hesitation to use them for hunting. There are better bullets sure, but it doesn't take a $2 bullet to kill a whitetail.
