[QUOTE="Sage70, post: 2745907, member: 119027"] The original GrandSlam had a two part lead core. A harder cup & core section was placed at the rear and a softer lead section was inserted by the HotCor process into the front. These bullets shot very accurately and the only complaint I had was they they could be slow to open on deer sized animals. The later version which is being produced now is made with the entire core using the HotCor process. I have used the 145 grain .284 version without any problems. I resize every case, trim each time to the same case length and use the same OAL with every cartridge. I do however, believe the original HotCore bullet is more accurate. The original HotCor is a great bullet equal to a Sierra in accuracy and it performs better on deer size animals. [/QUOTE]
