all the core-lokts i've ever hit a deer with did their job just fine. of course they were motivated by ordinary, non-death-ray cartridges such as the .308 win, .30-'06 and 6.5x55. same goes for plain ol' winchester power points flung by a .308 and .270, and plain ol' speer hot cores flung by the pedestrian 7.62x54r and .30-30, and plain ol' hornady spire points flung by .303 british and 6.5x55.
