[QUOTE="Buckys, post: 2611113, member: 107750"] Because the cup and core are not as effective at high velocities and they are not ballistically efficient for long range scenarios. I love corelokt for all the reasons stated but I would not use them where the MV is much greater than about 3000fps ... the only issues I have ever seen with them was a 130gr corelokt + 270WSM + <100 yd target ... the bullet just blew up before it got into or through the frontal rib cage. So I run accubonds in my magnums, 243, etc. The corelokt is a great option for 270win (I use the 150gr) or the 6.5 man bun, 7mm08, 308, etc where the MV is ~3000 or less. The Federal Fusion is another great option IMO. [/QUOTE]
