It has certain characteristics that also suggest Pro-Hunter (Sierra), except for the internal cuts/expansion ridges; but those also look like what you typically see with Hornady though the jacket base is not as rounded as they tend to be. Core-Lokt is a good call IMO. It's obviously not Partition however. Last edited by Klikitarik; 04/03/10. Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

I admit to using a bunch of 145grn Hot-Core bullets in a .280 without complaint. No matter, we will all end up using an unleaded version of some sort. We all got used to it with gasoline. This is God's universe, and he has a plan. You might think that you have aa better plan, but you don't have a universe.

They've always done me a good job. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
