My dad and I both use Rem Express Core-Lokts in our 06. Both use 180 grain. My dad uses a soft point. I use a Pointed Soft Point. I've gotten two elk at 300+. One of them was a one-shot kill and the other went right through shoulder and he dropped in his tracks. My dad's gotten two elk as well (100-150 yds). Not sure if they were one-shots or not.

My mom uses Rem Express Core-Lokts in her 308. We try to get her to carry the other 06, but she doesn't feel as comfortable with it. She's actually gotten 3 elk (<50 yds, 150 yds twice), 1 one was a one-shot kill and the other two needed a follow up.

However, this is all we've ever used. So, I can't really compare it with other brands.
