They seem priced pretty right at midway and natchez but I can't figure out if that's a box of 50 for $22 or a box of 100. A visit to rem's site didn't help much.

I was pretty impressed with the ratings I saw at Midway.....alot of guys were reporting under moa accuracy even with the factory ammo. AND the bullet seems to hold together as promised.

Kraky, I got a box from midway. a couple of months ago. There's 50 in this box of 168 30 cal bullets. I need to load some to try, probably in my 300 WSM.

I too have heard good reports about them, they should behave similar to the interbond and accu-bond.

180 gr in my 300 Mag, they are great on paper, but too soft on game. Retain weight well, but flatten out with poor penetration.

Thanks guys....at that price I'd probably be looking at other bullets like the tsx or AB/partition seconds.

That's disappointing!

Can't offer anything more than an anecdote, but maybe it's interesting nonetheless.

Four or five years ago I shot a fair sized doe ala Texas heart shot. I think it was the first year Remington came out with the Ultra Core-lokts.

I was aiming for the base of the neck as the deer bounced away from me, maybe 30 yards out. Problem was, the hind-end was on the way up when I pulled the trigger.

I was at a loss for a while, as there was no visible wound--until I noticed a small hole along-side the...well, you know.

The bullet entered through the pelvic girdle without breaking any bone (or did it; I can't remember?). It rode just under the spine, and somehow managed to get up ahead of the diaphram before stopping.

Everything forward the diaphram was filled with blood.

Never found the bullet, but it must have gone through a good two feet of deer before getting to the lungs.
