I had a friend who wanted me to set up his new Mod 742 (back in the early 80s) 30-06 with a scope and zero it for him. Gave me the rifle/scope and a wad of cash. I mounted the Weaver 2x7 on it, and started out with plain Corlokts in 150ptd. It didn't want to shoot well. On a whim, I tried a box of 180 RN Corlokts, and bingo, shot like a varmint rifle! We went to GA and he shot a 180 pound buck out around 80 yds. Nice, 50 cent pc hole all the way through, no bloodshot meat. He thought I was "an expert", ha. Had another friend who used nothing but the 220 RN Corlokts on those small SE Tex bucks/hogs.
