    The Core-Lokt ammo became popular back in the day, because the bullets held together better than the usual cup-n-core bullets of the day. Winchester tried to counter with their Silvertip ammo, but is was just hype. The Silvertip was almost explosive and had very poor penetration; it just looked sexy.

    I'm 73 and have been reloading since I was 13. We used mostly Sierra bullets back then, very accurate cup-n-cores, and they worked well enough. I did use Remington bullets when I could find them for elk ammo and mule deer ammo. The old Core-Lokts never let me down. I put them on par with Speer Hot Cores. Neither were the most accurate bullets, both killed well, and both would shoot a minute of antelope all day, every day.

    I've now gravitated to Nosler AccuBonds and to Particians if going after elk, on up.

    Some left over from "back in the day"
