Thread: Remington Core-Lokt back in supply

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"

Have you got a 270 drilling to show us ???
