No problem with core-lokts at those close to moderate ranges. I'm a fan of Nosler Partitions and BTSPs.

RE: Looking to change ammo..Need some advice

There isn't anything wrong with the bullet at all. I just wondering if there was anything better than what i'm shooting. Everything i've shot with the corelokts was down, except one deer but he turned on me and i blew out his running gear and had to put another one in him to finish him off.

I have a Remington 700 30.06. I have always shot the 150gr corelokts out of it. My shots range from 50 to prolly 250 to 275yds. What is about the best bullet out for my 30.06? I do not reload. And i'd like to stick with 150gr.

Since you plan to stick to 150-grain bullets, I suspect you are NOT going after anything bigger than deer. Therefore, I see no reason for you to change bullets at all-those Remington Core-Lokts are fine for your purposes..... In fact, I doubt that you will find anything better for your uses.

IF you decide to go for elk or moose, you need to use a heavier bullet.......
