From what I understand, newer Core-Lokts might be a little more tame, not that any animal would be able to figure out.

If I were going to use factory loads, I'd use Core-Lokts.


The rifle came with the Core Lokt's and 160 grain Winchester Fail Safes. The rifle shoots them both very well. All this ammo was purchased in 1999 to 2000. I have $300 in the rifle, scope bases/rings and ammo....wound up getting the Leupold from the classifieds here....don't think it had ever been mounted...the rifle has seen very little use as well. I'm happy with the setup!
