Deer Ammo Recommendations

Barnes Berger or hornsdy vldx

1/10 of corelokts don't go bang

Are you talking about the game king hpbt or the match king? They exit 50 percent for me at ranges <100 yards, this is game king 140gr hpbt .270

Game kings, 140gr In the creedmoor, 165gr in the 300. Inside of 100 they knock baseball sized holes in deer. I cant imagine the .270 performing much differently. And I've tested them on a shit pile of deer the past 12 months, more than most of the people commenting will kill the next decade.

This is just silly. It’s a deer.

Shooting a .338 edge at deer is silly.........

I’ve never laughed harder while deer hunting than I did after head shooting a doe with it. 20’ cloud of hair

I picked up a box of Speer 140 grain soft points in 6.5mm. "Hot-Core" or something like that. Figured I would try them and see. Anyone else shoot SP Speer anymore? $20 a box for 100.

Take a gumball and smash it into the shape of a bullet and propel it at 3,000 fps and you will kill deer with it.

It's not a rhino.

I shoot the Ballistic Silvertips out of my BAR 270, only gun I do not reload with . Have noticed a few times no good blood trail but could see the deer drop or found it right quickly . Never lost a deer with one

My hunting partner shoots core-loks and have to admit he has a hell of a blood trail but I have also had to help him look for deer his wife or kids have shot with same bullets.

I have to agree, shot placement is key

Been shooting NBT for 30+ yrs, not really any issues at all that I can remember and attribute any deer not recovered to my shooting and not the bullet

140gr Silvertip in the -08. Leaves nasty holes with my rifle and very accurate. Attachment 47457

Stay outta the shoulder and you will have no worries.

Whew!

What is funny is that Sierra markets the .270 HPBT as much tougher than their regular spbt. From my experience it is not nearly as tough. Soft ball exits are normal lol

Corelokts are the RC Colas of deer bullets
