Where would I start? Easy. I'd pick up a couple different weights of factory loaded Remington Core-Lokts appropriate to the game I'm going after and see which grouped best in my rifle. If I could find one that shot better than the others, and that under two inches, I'd use that. For example, my 700BDL .30-06 likes the 165 grain factory loads -- shoots right at one inch, which is plenty good for my purpose. 150 grainers open up a bit in that rifle.

Only if I found that none of the inexpensive factory loads grouped well would I start the search for something that did.
