How accurate are Remington Core-lokts?

My son's Savage 99 .308 Win shoots them better than anything else. My M700 .308 cuts small groups with them also. The two factory loads my Mark V .30-06 shoots best are Federal 165 gr Barnes TSX and Remington 180 gr Core Lokts. My '06 cloverleafs them when I don't drink too much coffee. I hunt primarily with TSX and TTSX, but the Core Lokts are great for deer if your gun shoots them well My hunting partner kills lots of elk and deer with a 7mm Rem Mag loaded with 150 gr CL's. Can't argue with that.

AAM a lot of the questions you are asking are very subjective. Core-lokts are usually good rounds but I have seen some rifles that love them and I have seen some that you could not get any consistency out of them at all. Like a lot of things like this it all depends on the conditions and rifle you are using.

I have an old Rem 700 ADL that loves them (7mm mag), but it is the only rifle I've ever owned that shot them well. I'm with WAM on the Barnes TTSX for my 7mm-08, and my Win. Mod. 70 likes Hornady factory 130 gr BTSP (.270) and the jury is still out on my new Rem. 750 carbine in .308 because it doesn't cycle well and I can't start putting handloads through it because that voids the warranty, which I think is used oats, but I'll have to stick with factory ammo until they get it working right, then I'll tune it up. It sure doesn't like corelokts factory ammo in 150 or 180 gr.---gives consistent 8"-9" groups. Bleah!
