My dad used both of them in his 30-06 when he went out west for elk every fall. He always brought meat home. He used core lokts for deer hunting locally.
Although my Father wasn't much of a game hunter, he was primarily a 'chuck shooter, Bearrr264's Father did the same thing that your Father did when I knew him. He shot 180 grain BT Remington factory loads in his elk rifle, a pre-'64 Winchester 70, and 180 grain RNCL Remington factory loads in his deer, black bear, and moose rifle, a Remington 760 with the barrel chopped off at 17".
