stuvwxyz,

The pointed soft-point Corelokt was "redesigned" about 20 years ago. Before that all Core-Lokts had jackets with pretty thick sidewalls, the reason they held together pretty well, though they never actually had an "hour-glass" shaped core like Remington used to claim, due to the sidewalls being thicker in the middle. When redesigned they ended up with jackets about as thick (or thin) as most cup-and-core bullets, so didn't hold together as well.

The only Core-Lokts that still have the thick jackets are the round-nose models. Or at least they did a few years ago, last time I sectioned any.
