Core Lokts useed below 2800-2900fps work fine for anything. It's when you step up past that you will run into trouble.
Personally,except for a few partitions years ago.I have never shot a so called premium bullet in any rifle I own. I can guarantee,I will never use any Barnes bullets.
I am fiddling with some Accubonds in my 6.5 now, but that is only because I am looking for that long bullet in a 130 gr for the fast twist in my Swede.
I also don't buy into the idea that since I am spending big bucks on a hunt,or whatever,that requires a premium bullet.
Yeas ago I did go on a guided hunt in Alberta. Bullet was a 160 gr Sierra Game King that tipped over a nice 6x elk. In 2009 after trying to draw a tag for trohpy area in CO for 20 years,the bullet again was a Sierra that tipped over a 7 x8 elk. Both one shot kills
