74.2% weight retention..
30 cal.
165gr
122.5 recovered weight

Anyone care to guess who makes this bullet?

Remington Cor-Lokt?
or
Nosler Partition?

Basing this on the weight retention & lack of boattail.

That would be my first call as well. It has certain characteristics that also suggest Pro-Hunter (Sierra), except for the internal cuts/expansion ridges; but those also look like what you typically see with Hornady though the jacket base is not as rounded as they tend to be. Core-Lokt is a good call IMO.

It's obviously not Partition however.

not a partition because it lacks the exposed lead on the base.

but my guess is the Hornady Interlock or the Corelokt.

but it may be Speer GS or Hot-cor?

Speer Hot Cor

I'd like to see a 400lb. pig..

Spill the beans Chuck!

GS say so on the base.

Speer Hot Core?

Core-lokt, power point, or interlockt

Hornady Interlock.

speer hot core?

You are correct Klik,

I didn't think about the lead core, I was basing it off the weight retention. Which is about normal for a Partition.

Speer Hot Cor it is..

Took the pics at my buddys shop. He loads for a friend of his. 30-06 58grs of H100V 165gr Speer Hot Cor did in the Hog. Did not see any pics of said 400lb Hog, but I've no doubt it was at least a big sum-bitch.. The Hot Cor is also this fellas go to bullet for his elk huntin. Looks good to me.


Thinkin I might just need to see if the boys -06 likes them..

Amongst the CC's I've used the Speer Hot Core at standard velocities always seemed to cling together pretty well....the 130 270 is also a good bullet.

I was thinking hot core too but was reading through all the posts first. you beat me

Great post....Sweet, I been wondering how well they work.

Speer Hot Core in the 140 .264 were always my favorite bullet....loved them.

Buy them while you can, boys. Speer is discontinuing the Hot-Cor for the new Deep Curl. I admit to using a bunch of 145grn Hot-Core bullets in a .280 without complaint. No matter, we will all end up using an unleaded version of some sort. We all got used to it with gasoline.

I've killed my share of deer and elk both with Hotcors, either 270 or 30 cal. They've always done me a good job.

DeerTracker: Lucky stab! Mtn Huntr beat me but I didn't know it! Ha!...I guessed!

cool

Here's the last 270 Speer I recovered out of a moose taken with my 9.3X62.




Broke ribs going in and out, mushed up lungs, ended up under hide after about thirty inches of travel. Plain vanilla Hot Cores are good bullets!

a long time ago i used 90 grain hot cor's in my 243. never had a problem.

I've run several 6.5mm 120gr. bullets into wet newsprint. Looked just like all the ones shown. "Boringly reliable" comes to mind.

The Hot Cor has a reputation for being a pretty stout C&C bullet. My only problem with the 140g 6.5mm is that I can't get the dang thing to group in my 6.5x55.

I recently tested a load that gave me 1.357" and that's the absolute best the bullet has done. Average group sizes have been about 2 1/3".

Anyone load the 140g 6.5mm in a 6.5x55 that has an accurate load to share?
