Just curious. I used these when I first began shooting a .270, but gradually strayed away from them. For some reason, though, I'm getting the urge to work up a load with them, once again. Which manufacturer makes the "best" bullet of this type? I was thinking of trying either the Hornady Interlock or Sierra ProHunter. I used Core-Lokt's in the past. Thanks, | ||

I used the 150 grain core-lokt loads in Germany for several years until I got my reloading stuff set up. Worked great on Reh, Boar, and Stag... | ||

Yes sir, Used the Hornady 150 RN to take three whtietail. Everybody thought I was crazy, not using the Spire Point, but if what I read is correct, which was the RN offers a larger frontal mass and expands quicker, perhaps giving better kills, then I liked the idea. Of course you loose the better BCs of the SPs. But where I usually hunt, I rarely get shots long enough for that to be much concern. One other thing, they grouped really well at 100m too, at least as well as the SPs I was using. Edit point: My 270 was a Weatherby.

I was about to ask the same question about the 150 Speer RN. They make a 150 Pointed Hot Core and a 150 Grand Slam, but not Round Nose to the best of my knowledge. My 270 just loves the 150 REM RN Core Lokts with Rel 22 under them. Several of my friends us the 150 RN Core Lokt Factory loads on Deer, and they work great. ------------------ | |||

I killed a Boar with the Federal Factory 150 RN, worked like a charm. ------------------ | ||

I used the old Speer 170 gr. .277 RN on a lot of game at one time and it sure killed well as did the 150 gr. RN corelokt....I just wanted to know how they worked, and they kill very well indeed....I couldn't tell much difference at longer ranges, they drop about 3"'s more at 300 I suspect and could wobble off or on that much...but I suspect a .270 is designed for the 130 and 150 gr. spitzers, when all is said and done. ------------------ | |||
