Since I started the thread . . .

WW Silvertips out of a .300 WM (35+ years ago) was the impetus to get into handloading. Didn't get pass thrus on backtail deer standing broadside at 25 yds - 150 gr IIRC. Opposite side hide looked like a shotgun blast. [I think they construct two different bullets in .30 cal nowadays] Not much experience with the Core Lokt bullet. Have some .30 cal / 180 gr / Core Lokt Ultra Bonded that I need to try out.
