Just curious, what are other people’s experiences and thoughts on this ammo? I’m particularly interested in the .308 Win in 150 grain performance? What have you experienced? Good, bad and ugly?
I had my first experiences with this round this past Sunday taking down two good sized marsh deer. Both taken at ~110 yards from 20’ high platform stand. Neither took another step from where they were hit. Doe was slightly quartering away. Bullet entry was center mass chest cavity. There was what I will call an exit wound on the upper portion of the opposite shoulder...but, it was no larger than the entry wound...so, just guessing it was a piece of shrapnel that took an upward angle? The lungs were totally shredded. The top half of the upper shoulder was a bloody mess. The spine even had some damage!
Buck was broadside and easily 40-50 lbs heavier than the doe. Entry wound center chest cavity. Again, lungs were destroyed. Backside shoulder had considerable damage. And, it too had some spine damage noticed. No exit wounds, no salvageable bullet fragments.
All new stuff to me....been a lifelong user of Core-Lokts and the school of thought that you wanted the boolit to mushroom, stay intact, yada, yada, yada. Bought these rounds for a really great price so I gave them a shot. They were obviously extremely effective and accurate. Just not the same damage...and certainly not the fragmentation...I’m accustomed to seeing with the Core-Lokt.
