BR: Are you asking me?

If so, I don't recall ever saying they did not expand and hold together.I never even mentioned them; I discussed Partitions,not CoreLokts.Someone else mentioned corelokts after I posted on the Partitions

But as long as we're on the topic,my understanding is that Remington, quite a few years back, turned the spitzer-type CoreLokt into nothing more than a standard C&C bullet to cut costs.Johnnie B and others have mentioned this on here many times...IIRC there were expceptions and the round nose was one of them,and they are built the same as they always were. Apparently not all CoreLokts are the same.....




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

No Bob, just a general comment for the thread.

The Best Hunting Bullet is my favorite gun article of all time. It took a lot of time and work to do that extensive test, and it applies almost universally (everybody uses 30/180 bullets at some point).

Harrumph!!!

The nice part about it is I can simply ignore all other bullets and ignore trajectory as far as I care to shoot. I don't care about impact velocity. All these bullets but one have exited the animal. None have disintegrated.

Cost? It seems foolish to worry about the cost of a bullet when you consider all the other costs of a hunt.


I like the Nosler Partition too and the extra cost is negligible compared to any other expense associated to hunting. In the total it does not even figure.

Which caliber do you use ?
Do you hand-load or use factory rounds ?
Is 3200 a measured muzzle velocity ?

Thanks


Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?

I don't have much money, and certainly not enough to leave home and work to go on an out of state hunt, pay a guide, tags....

I do all my hunting either on public land or on land owned by friends. My hunting costs are minimal. Gas, license,... If I can save 20 dollars on a box of bullets and get twice as many bullets, I will. I am still young. Maybe one day I will fret the costs of a guided hunting trip and then the cost of a bullet will become of less importance. But, for now, I just wanted to know what impact velocities work for what bullets, and we seem to have had a good discussion on that.
