35 Remington 200gn Core Lokt - 12/15/23
This year I loaded some old Remington Core Lokts (red box) for my 336 in 35 Remington using LVR @ just over 2200 FPS. Shot a decent buck at about 40 yards as he was quartering away. Hit high on the shoulder & exited the front edge of the far shoulder. He dropped right there & made a couple of feeble kicks before he was done. I was surprised to find after processing that no bone other than ribs were hit.
I was able to recover the bullet from the ground several yards beyond where it hit the deer. It weighs 161 grains even after hitting the ground. I was shooting down at the deer from an elevated stand.
Can't ask for more than this.
