[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2054572, member: 116439"] Sorry this isn't 308, but same case. I received several boxes of Rem Core Lokt back in the early 2000s. Had 7mm08n in 140gr Core Lokt & Accu Tip and .243 win in 100gr Core Lokt. These bullets performed flawlessly. Killed several deer and hogs with them dropping within a few yards or going 25 at the most. I shot a 250lb hog quartering away with .243 100gr CoreLokt, it went in through the left side and blew off the other side right shoulder and front leg. CoreLokt bullets are tried and true for many years. "Come on its just shooting deer". I can shoot and kill a deer with a 65gr SGK .223 no problem. Unless you are shooting at great distance for giant Mulies, which physically their hide is almost he same, just twice as big as a South Eastern White Tail. Well even a .308 with 150gr CoreLokt factory loads or hand loads with 165gr SGK or 180gr SGK will knock them down. If you are going past 500+ try looking at your 300 win mags or similar cartridges in 30 caliber. Not to say the basic .308 won't get out at distance. I read some good previously posts and agree whole heartily. We are shooting deer not shooting "F" class. You don't need a 1/4" bug hole to kill a deer. It would be nice to have that accurate rifle.
