In the early 80’s and into the 90’s all we used for the CA black tails & hogs were 130gr/270 and 150gr/30 Speer Hot Cor bullets. We (myself, family & surrounding neighbors) all had cattle ranches and had great luck - can’t remember any failures. I seem to remember that was before the Horn Innerlock appeared because we made a gradual (and unnecessary) switch to them because we had to have the ‘better’ bullets. Lol. Results were exactly the same though.
Now I shoot lots of Nosler stuff mostly blamed on SPS and their pricing. Lots of Red & yellow boxes on the shelves to this day.
