Know this thread is old but ammo always changes

Have always shot Remington Core-Lokt in my 30-30 and .308 and no complaints.

I recently got the 30-30 back from dad and handed down to my son. He just took a mature doe, 100 lbs dressed weight, at 50 yds with federal Power-shok. It was all the local store had. While the deer was as dead as any I was less than impressed with the bullet.
It hit a rib square just behind the shoulder and left no clear exit hole. Very little blood sign tho she only went 50 yds and piled up. Up butchering it appears the bullet fragmented and just peppered the cavity with little pieces, a lot of damage just under the skin around the entrance hole.
anyone else use this ammo? normal?
