    I used the 150gn Grand Slams for a while. Killed well but never really shot them at ranges over 100 yards. Don't think the BC is great by todays standards but apart from that....

    With the cor lots I reckoned if they flew like a brick they hit like a brick. BC doesn't matter if you are shooting under 300 ish

    Just run a dirty old hornady soft point. They will be softer than the grandslams
