I am finally getting around to sharing my experience this deer season with 150 grain Remington Corelokt pointed soft points in .300 savage. The 8 pointer I got dropped like it was hit with Thors hammer but what I recovered when I butchered it concerned me. The photo below shows the total disintegration of the core and seperation from the jacket. What was left was a sort of banana peal of copper. I did hit a lot of bone and what I did recover appeared to have tumbled along the backbone and damaged about 8 inches of backstrap. I'm thinking of switching to something more substantial like hand loaded Nosler Partitions or at least 180 grain factory fodder. Am I over reacting?
