[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2894287, member: 78056"] The Core-Lokt never stopped being exactly what it was to me... useless! This is especially true if you use a light for caliber rifle (say a 270 Win) on something big, like an elk. In that specific instance I've seen more bullet failures than I care to think about. When used with the proper weight bullet matched to the critter you seek, and within a certain range, they work - usually. But not always. Too close and they blow up. A bit too far and they don't open up and become drills. I've seen both. However, I got hooked on Partitions very early on (my hunting mentor used them so I followed him) and they have never failed me. Sometimes, at very close ranges (which I happen to work hard at) they might be a little to effective and ruin some meat but I would much rather deal with that than having to chase after anything. Personally, I've sold rifles that wouldn't shoot Partitions the way I want. They don't shoot well out of every rifle, but then no bullet escapes that fact of life. They aren't the perfect bullet but then again, I think they come as close as any other bullet out there. If you're stuck in some commie state that doesn't allow you to shoot lead bullets then I'm guessing the mono bullets will simply have to do. It's not like you have a choice there! The Partition is the Gold Standard against which all other bullets are judged. There may be some that work as well but none that work better! As long as you have a rifle that shoots them well, it's about as good as it gets! I once shot a wounded antelope that another hunter (and I use that term lightly) had shot and finally killed with a 700 yard shot with my Win .270 Win and the bullet hit a rib going in, mushroomed perfectly, and slipped out between ribs on the other side. The goat dropped right there (he had his lower jaw blown off by the other guy). Thing is, I was totally unprepared for a shot at that distance and literally guessed at the hold over... it was perhaps the 4th or 5th shot at subsequently longer distances until I got lucky and connected.
