Been using the win. fail safe 165 gr. have never lost one or the rem. core lokt I shoot a .308.
Win ballistic silver tips if buying factory ammo and ONLY Sierra bullets if reloading!
Winchester Ballistic Silvertips 150grain in my .300WSM and 140grain in my 7mmWSM. No problems.
Thanks Gary, I think I'm gonna go with a 150 grain round nosed bullet of some type in my 270 WSM. Finding some right now is the problem. All I found yesterday was a box of 130 grain Rem. Core Locs. Are the Silvertips a round nosed, soft nosed bullet like the Super-X Power Points?
The silvertips that you find now are exactly like the ones you have been using, just a different tip in it. They used to, may still do, make a solid point silvertip that was blount like the one posted earlier but I havent seen any of those. That 130 grain corelok will do it, another thing when close with a magnum rifle shoot that sucker dead in the shoulder, got more resistance and will knock him down most of the time and for sure do more damage.
I had a friend that used to talk about only taking neck shots. Two years in a row I had to give him meat. It works if you hit them. Those 130 C/L will do the job. Shoot like you usually do. Shoulder shots will anchor it, at the cost of some meat.
150 rem. Coreloks bad to the bone . That sweet spot right behind the sholder and just below the spine core lok will do the rest . If you miss that spot it will still get him or her .
