I sure as hell would never recommend that anyone try anything that they don't care for. My Browning A Bolt just happens to shoot the 150 grain cor lokts very well. I have not used them a lot because I load 90 percent of my ammo and use mostly Noslet and Hornady bullets. What I have used have worked well and they have probably taken more game than most any other bullet. They have been around as long as I can remember. Many hunters I know use them for everything. Anyone who does not like them can use a ton of other bullets. There can be and is always a few bad shells in any brand. However its very rare and I doubt Remington had any more duds than anyone else. As long as there is machinery involved, those things can happen. I have used quite a few of them in my 45-70 with good luck.
