You said to neglect the accuracy, which I really can't, but they're basically equal in "killing performance"...just based on BULLET performance.

Now, when you talk about cartridge performance, there's a big difference. I have never had a rifle that liked Remington Core-lokts, while most of my rifles shoot ALL winchester ammo pretty well, if not VERY well....I've also had 5-6 Fail to fires or even more dangerous delayed fires from core-lokts, problems that I've never had with any other ammo in the past (maybe ONE of either with a certain type in a thousand rounds).

The accuracy was enough for to convince me not to use Remingtons anyway...6" at 100yrds from a rifle that will print snowmen out to 200 is unacceptable.
