The main thing is to make a good shot on the deer. Don't take marginal shots and put it in the vitals. I like Hornady BTSP.

I won't be shooting Cor-lockts anymore, one because my Dad is handloading for me, and two out of the 16 that I shot out of a box, 2 didn't go off. Tried them both twice. That is a 12.5% that are bad. I still have 4 left, and who knows there may be another one in there.

That's pretty bizarre. My son and I both use Remington Express 100 gr. PSP Core Lokt's. Between targets, rabbits, and deer, we've shot a couple hundred rounds through them and have never had a misfire.

Before I started reloading, I used winchester power point 100 grains. Killed a lot of deer and yotes and pumpkins with them.

I know 2 different people who had no-fires with remington ammo this year. One in .243 and one in 30-06.

I have hit a point in my shooting that I only reload for my guns, and though I do not like Remington factory ammo, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Corelokt bullets. I would go as far as saying that they may easily be the best hunting bullet on the market for the price.

I have guns in too many caliber better suited for deer size game, but I recently bought a Sako 75 Finnlite in 243 to use on "varmints" and am loading it with 80 hr Ballistic Tip and 85 gr Partitions. Both shoot very well, and the Partitons SHOULD be adequate to use on deer.

I have use the Federal Classics in my .243 for 8 years and have had zero problems with them. Bought them on clearance for $5/box.

I shoot Sierra 100gr "Game Kings"

They're Hi-shok,more than likely they're an older bullet.That's why they were $13 a box.
The one thing that's nice about Remington ammo is you can find it just about everwhere.
I'll site in with the Federals then start to experiment & see what I get the better groups with.I want to try Hornady100grBTSP also.
Anyone use WinchesterSupreme 95grballistic silvertips or super-X 100gr. powerpoint?

That's what my buddy uses as his jams up on the Remington ammo like I said earlier. Other people that have borrowed his gun have killed deer with it however, he hasn't in recent years but he hasn't shot at any either.

I never tried winchester ammo that I can remember.Always remington & federal
