core lokt ultra
#2
Here the price is higher than other proven premium ammo(Federal, Winchester and Hornady) and I have never liked the green box for CF offerings. I know many like the Corelokts for deer, I ain' t one of them. Like mentioned here the price is higher than other good ammo & see no advantage with this bullet.

I have been using the 140 gr. load in a 270 Win. Accuracy has been exceptional and on game performance has been as advertised. I have used the loads mostly in taking feral hogs. Weights have ranged between 65-400 lbs. The 400 pounder was a boar shot through the shield at about 95 yards. The bullet entered and was found on the off side under the shield. The recovered bullet weighed 124.6 gr by my electronic scale. The price per box is high. I bought five left over boxes at a pawn shop for $10 bucks a box. I handload so I will purchase the bullets and reload to save some cash.

i also know tons and tons of guys who used the regular corelokts.......i used em once......either the bullets werent expanding or they were exploding on impact....ive seen a bunch of deer taken with a good hollowpoint or a nosler ballsitic tip and they all dropped or went short distances with a blood trail you didnt want to step in becuase youd get all bloddy......them corelokts even if my scope was broke and my hits were bad left very very little sign of a hit at all.......a few tiny drops of blood......i think if i would had my hollowpoints i would found the deer......i learned my lesson......dont buy cheap ammo and dont buy cheap scopes......ruined my year....i almost quit deer hunting because i thought i was the reason the deer were getting away.....till i found out my scope was broke when i gave it to dad(yes i gave him my scope i wasnt going to hunt) and he was having it mounted on a slug gun and hte guy checked it first and the crosshairs moved when you move the powers......crazy......but true.....so i bought a leupold and now hunt with hollowpoints or NBTs and they havent made it 20yds after being hit.....thats 2 last year so far........sure they put it in a new box gave it a new name and jacked up the price......but id bet its the same bullet in there........
