Belly,.
I hunted and killed many elk with an 8mm Rem Mag shooting a 220 grain Hornady interlock. The interlock is not substantially different from the core lock. Keep your shots within reason for what ever accuracy you get from the core locks and hunt with confidence. I shoot elk with a 7mm 162 grain ELDX these days and am here to tell you the ELDX will do the same. You can not go wrong with either bullet.
8mmwapiti Thanks for the info.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Sounds damn near perfect. Hard to go wrong with a classic model 70. Blued or stainless, either one. That b!tch ate up a new Burris FFII 3-9x40 tonight. I guess I’ll see if she can whip a 6x36 Leupold. WTH!!!!
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Yes, now that I have it on there, I really like the versatility and simplicity. I’ll try and kill an elk with it in about a month.

I bought 2 boxes of that Hunter back in early August from Soldotna SW, just cuz it (and nothing else) was there, and I think I must have left a whole box of my Hornady RN 250 reloads at the range this summer. Nowhere to be found, leaving me an even dozen rounds to hunt caribou and moose with, after sight-check. It prints good. Should work. I've not found Hornady loads to be "crap", but then I'm not an elitist. If it works, it works, it doesn't need to be gold plated and jeweled.... Corelokts are pretty much my go-to, but it's been unobtainium. I'm "conserving hunting ammo" this year, it seems. I haven't fired a shot at game..... even "crap" ammo workks for that. 
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
