I've never bought any component Corelokt, and almost always hunt with handloads. One year though I decided at the last minute to take a .300 Savage, and bought Rem factory 150gr CL loads. They shot well.
The first doe I hit at ~80 yards. She was quartering slightly away, and the shot went behind the onside shoulder, and out through the opposite shoulder, leaving a hole about 2�-3" in diameter. Small deer, but I don't think even a big deer would have run far after that shot.
That was 20 years ago, and since then the corporate gurus at Rem may well have cut corners to cheapen the CL, but I think they probably still work fine on any deer, when launched at moderate velocity. Would I plan to use one for elk & moose? No
