My uncle was very thrilled with the outcome and pics. No tears were shed, just a huge smile on my face all day long.
Will be revisiting the performance of the 120gr cor-lokts. Not impressed. I have killed 3 deer with this load and the results were spectacular. This time, not so much.
The story from first shot to last is epic. Maybe some other time.
I assume these are a handload? I know you used to be able to get the 120 as a component, but not in factory loads (that was the Accutip). I used the 140 Corelokt for the first couple years I had my 260 (Ruger boat paddle), until I began to reload for it. I found the 120gr Ballistic tips and 120gr Sierra ProHunters to be a better replacement, both of which have since been trumped by the 120gr TTSX (also the most accurate bullet to date in that rifle).
My custom 260 gets is on the Scenar diet.....
Any bullet can perform "sub par", especially on big deer.
Nice deer. Nice rifle. Best wishes to you and your Uncle.
