[QUOTE="bigcountryok, post: 1313152, member: 4368"] No we didn't recover the bullets, because they popped right through leaving an entrance and exit wound of the same size. The entrance and exit wounds and very light blood trails were proof of the bullets' failure to expand inside the animal. My FIL had the same experience on antelope. I was not there to personaly witness it, but saw pics of the animal after it was skinned and heard the story. I don't doubt that they will work I've just seen them not work often enough that I cannot recommend them for deer. For me its like mechanical broadheads, will they work, yes, have I seen them have issues that I haven't seen with fixed blades, yes. I have seen 180gr bullets work just fine out of a 30-06. I'm not sure if the slower velocity has anything to do with it ( I know it doesn't make sense), but the exit wounds weren't near the size of the 150, 165, and 168gr bullets I've used. The Core-Loks I've seen tend to be softer than most bullets. To each his own! Go whack em and stackem. [/QUOTE]
