A few hunters I know make dead elk every year or so with the 150 rem core-lokt. Be it 30-30, 308 win, the ol'-06, 300 mags of different sizes.

I was hunting with a senior fellow elk hunter and watched as he killed a lead cow, broadside shot threw the slats, 90 odd yards away with his 300 win. with a 150 gr. core-lokt. Bullet did not make it all the way threw, but the cow BARELY made it 20 yards and tipped over stone dead. The destruction of the lungs/heart was very good.

I like the piece of mind having a premium projectile for elk, noslers, barnes and such...
