Remington Tipped Corelokt

[filmjunkie4ever]

Has anyone used these factory loads on deer or elk? If so how did they perform.

Are they better or worse in any way than the standard Corelokt?

I am considering using them in a .300 WSM for a cow elk hunt here in Oregon.

I think of them as a version of the Nosler BT.
Friend of mine used them in his 280 Remington last year on a WY Mule deer. He said it was a pretty good size exit wound in the neck. I don't know the range or if bone was hit.
Maybe test a couple in water jugs at 100 and 200 yards to get an idea of what you can expect.

Just ordered the ammo from MidwayUSA. Am saving up my gallon jugs. Just bought my cow elk tag too.

The .300 WSM 150 grain Tipped Corelokts arrived today. They look great. Now I need to get up to the range to sight in and do the milkjug test.

That's got to be downright zippy...

Have you done the jug test yet?

Yes. I posted results in the .308 bullet tests threads.
