I commented on this post once but I just remembered something. Like I said earlier core lokts have always got the job done for me but I now use Winchester ballistic tips. 2 seasons ago my buddy killed a deer with a 150 gr core lokt out of his cheap 30-06 ( remington 770 )... I wasn't with him when he shot it but he recovered the bullet and dropped it in my hand when he got back from the camp. That bullet looked about dead on to the picture that is on the back of the remington box. The food plot that he shot it on is 62 yards from the shooting house to the wood line, so at close distances it mushrooms like it should. I imagine that it gets even better at longer ranges.
