For all you 180gr. core-lokt fans.
I was extremely disappointed with them on my last bear.
My Bullet stopped dead in the shoulder blade at 150 yards. Zero penetration after that..
Let's just say I wasn't happy about having to chase down a limping bear in the thick brush.
Let him sit for an hour. Hoping he would have bleed out. Nope.
Was very much alive when I finally found him laying there.
Decided a quick kill was best and was able to Put 1 smack Dab in his ear at 10 yards. Unfortunately was expecting some major pass through..found no pass through at all...Thankfully it finally dropped him though.
Maybe it was bad luck on that shoulder blade. But all I know I'll never use Remington core-lokts again on an animal.
