Used the 175 Core-Lokt, Nosler Partition and 175 Barnes X. They all resulted in dead deer and hogs. They all performed well but would not be my first choice, I was just burning up ammo from other hunts and they shot to the same point of impact as 140s and 160s.

These all would be good for come what may types of shots but the lighter bullets will kill more quickly in general. They are less destructive regarding meat loss but not always. Mostly use 160's for everything that I would use a big Seven on now.


"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
