How do the current C&C bullets rank? Looking specifically at 270 WCF and 30-06.
Let’s say accuracy it’s similar. Which would you choose for deer and elk?

Speer hot cor first. It would be a toss between hornady interlock and remington core lokt's. All heavy for caliber

Horny, Remmy, then Speer. 180's in the '06 and 150's in the .270

Hornady always first. Then Sierras or Winchesters.

I used to be a Speer guy until they got weird with lineup changes and availability issues even before the panics.
Switched to Sierras and later Hornady, still use some of both but mainly Hornady. Nosler Btips and Solid bases get lots of use by me too.

I'd grab any and all for deer and elk, as long as the SD was there, so 150s in the 270 and 180's in the 30-06. Then I'd avoid ass-shooting, or "raking shots", as the pros call them.

If NBT's aren't in the race, then it's Hornady IL and WW Power Point. Years ago I would have included the Remington Core lokt.

Like both the Hornady and the Speers. If we are allowed to add the Ballistic Tips I would say them first the other two a dead heat.

Let’s say accuracy it’s similar. Which would you choose for deer and elk? Rank according to what criteria? Price? Toughness? LR compatibility? Availability?

I did a survey some years ago to find the preferred C&C bullet used by Campfire members for handloading - the Hornady Interlock ranked first with about half of all responses.

So, do we think the current Power Point is a better/stronger bullet than the current Core-Lokt?

Hornady Interlocks are very bad! Leave them alone!
If you see any, especially the horrible 6.5/.264 129 gr., PM me so I can get them off the streets & no one else will have to deal with them.
They are HORRIBLE!

The Hornady Interlock would get my vote, both for accuracy and on game performance.
