I can vouch for the fact that .30-06 150's will come apart on the shoulder of a Bull moose (friends rifle, I was trying to kill a Moose with a 30-30 but it was out of range. Ended up killing it in a charge with the 30-30) but the 220 will punch clean through a Cow Moose. I still had to wait for the Moose to die when I got up to it. I shot a very large Bull with the 350 grain Interlock out of a .450 Marlin and he was dead by the time I could get to him. That's the only time I ever seen a Moose die that quick.

I think forum members just like saying 'coreloss' , I believe them to shine their best when started at or slightly under 2800 fps.

I like them, but AFAIK are no longer available in Canada except old stock that's left over.

I can vouch for the fact that .30-06 150's will come apart on the shoulder of a Bull moose Probably have better results with a 180. but the 220 will punch clean through a Cow Moose. I still had to wait for the Moose to die when I got up to it. I shot a very large Bull with the 350 grain Interlock out of a .450 Marlin and he was dead by the time I could get to him. That's the only time I ever seen a Moose die that quick. Slow death is typical with moose. I once shot a small bull twice with a 375Mag. Both perfect lung shots broadside. He just stood there with no reaction to the hits and started to walk off. Another shot downed him. This same experience was repeated on another moose 4yrs later, but I just waited w/o shooting again. It to died slow. The only moose I have killed on the spot was another bull that caught a 35cal Speer 250gr behind the ear at 25yds. Tossed him to the ground. No walking away, no twitching.

Cub,
If I would have known my buddy was using 150 Core-Lokts in his '06 I wouldn't have asked him to hand it to me. I was trying to get a Bull under 100 yards with my .30-30 and 170 Silvertips but the bull was 150 yards with no way to get closer. When We foud him he ended up coming for us but the topography put me above him and I was able to spine him with the .30-30.

That's it, bad shooting caused the bullets to not make it past the shoulder.

Boring but effective bullet at reasonable ranges. I bought 2 boxes of them in .308 last summer because they were literally the ONLY box of shells to be found in my city at the time. 3" accurate at 100 yards. Load quality was lacking, at least half of each box had the bullets seated at different depths which could be seen simply by looking at the cannelure. Used the brass to load up some 165 Sierra HPBT pushed by CFE-223 which made a nice sub-MOA load. Shot a deer at 460 with it, would never have tried that shot with a Corelokt in the chamber.

Wouldn't want to mention any names of factory ammo and such, but we pulled 20 Core-Lokts from their cases in a single box of unnamed factory rounds one day and found no less than 3 different kinds of powder �..

Hope you guys are not going the way of commiefornia with their lead free condor bullspit! Nope ... Lots of lead here, just no Corelokts. Speer C&C bullets are in short supply as well.

They are doing you a favour... I do not recall losing any animals to CoreLokts... but if one added up all the wasted bloodshot meat it would equal more than a few...
