I shot my first buck with a Remington 760 in 1990. I placed a 180 grain Core -Lokt right behind the shoulder (standard PA load) and it ran 150 yards and I still had to put a finisher in it. I tend to learn quick so I switched to 150 Core Lokts after that and started watching deer drop at the shot. PA guys had it all wrong when it comes to deer bullets for the .30-06.
Funny, back when I hunted with a .30-06 those 180 gr. RN core-lokts smacked hell out of deer for me. The infamous Benoit clan apparently thought they worked fine too, as that's all they used in their '06's for many years. Guess they musta had it all wrong just like all those Pa. guys.
