🦌Which One Brings Home The Big Bucks?🦌 .308 Remington Core-Lokt Tipped vs Pointed Soft Point!
Ойын-сауық
Ballistic gel, chrono, and accuracy test using Remington Core-Lokt .308 hunting ammo! Is tipped really better and worth the high price, or should you take what you can get during an ammo shortage?

Another great test Tools. You just keep upping your game on the testing, very informative and fun to watch. Picked me up a 22LR Wildcat yesterday too add to my collection based on your review of it. Hoping to get the Heritage Rancher this week too add to my Heritage collection as well. Keep the videos coming, love watching them and what you do for the 2A community.

That was cool and very interesting. The traditional Core-Lokt .308 is my chosen deer hunting round out of that single shot NEF Handi Rifle. I would not spend any extra for the tipped given what was shown here. I was not prepared for the violence of the impact with that Gel. Holy Smokes! That was impressive. Darn good shooting Tools and a great video.

If your shooting inside 300 yards it really doesn't matter which one you use... If your shooting beyond that with handloads your a fool to not use the tipped (presuming your find a good load) because of retained performance

I'm glad you did this test. It doesn't change my mind only confirms my thoughts. I have used Core-Lokt PSP in both 30-06 and 308 for years. It is my go to round for deer. The tipped ammo is to have a better Balistic Coefficient. So at longer range it might be more accurate, but one need to ask if they should be taking long range shots on game and not can they make long range shots on game.

If you should depends on if your capable of it, I always figure don't shoot any farther at game then your practice. If your whitetail hunting then there's not really a necessity, if your out west then the closest shot you get may be 500 yards across a valley. Of course one must also know the limits of the cartridge, just because you can hit a elk at 500 yards with your .243 doesn't make it a good idea.

@@ToolsandTargets there is also another consideration with the tipped core lokt I have heard in favor of them in heavier animals like Boar and Elk the point is there to aid with penetration and begin the penetration in a more controlled manner.

That was a fun video to watch. I liked everything about the format. The Rem Core lokt is legendary in WI. It's killed enormous bucks from its introduction to present day. Sure, there are more advanced designs today that do offer advantages over it. That being said, a Rem Core Lokt out of a 308 or 30-06 with a 150 or 165 gr bullet has been standard here for the average deer hunter for decades. I like to site in at 50 yards because my average shot is 20-60 yards. When I get a shot at 100-150 yards the 50 yard zero with a 308 or my 7mm mag is still well within the vitals.

Man that mucked up the jelly lol! Wow on both, I believe you are ready to harvest a deer for sure! Seemed the non-tipped was more consistent on the chrono between shots and performed better than the tipped into bare gel. Maybe the tipped had a slower round into the gel so it came up a little short! Looked like that tipped bullet left a dirty black wound cavity that I would not want to have in my deer to clean or cut away. For that reason I choose the non-tipped, plus the price too! Guess you would get whatever is on the shelf if you need it either would get'r dun! Rocked that Jelly good! Peace brother!

I found the tipped cor lokts to be right on par with my nosler accubonds in my 308. As you can't find noslers on the shelf anywhere, they are an excellent backup and have roughly the same ballistic coefficient if I needed to reach out and touch a deer.
Excellent comparison. I wish they could make a smoother soft point.. but I guess that's beyond the material. The Federals I got were all mashed up from when they seated the bullet. I suspect that's got more to do with the plastic tips than just ballistics.
Personally I always used the regular CoreLockd bullets they Always got the job Done, in many different Calibers they just Work, Thanks Tool's

I found out later that the all the bullet tips were flattened a bit in the magazine. I think the tipped bullets might not deform as much.

A while back I took a shot at an 8pt white tail ( 190-200 lbs ) was using Federal Core Lock. $18.99 a box of 20 pre shortage prices. 150 grain. Shot was only 60yds. Probably a clone of the Remington. I looked immediately to see which direction he was headed after shooting but he was gone. It was my son’s rifle and I was in disbelief that I could’ve missed from that range. Especially aiming just below the shoulder. I waited 10-15 min and walked over where he was when I fired and found him laying within inches of where he was standing, the shot evidently knocked him off his feet and he was probably dead when he hit the ground (when we processed him it was a clean heart shot). This year I shot another large 8 point at a 150 yds with the same cartridge, same shot placement but this guy ran around 70 yds. Point being that the hydrostatic shock of a 308 inside 80-100 yds is massive, so for short range hunting as demonstrated by Mr. Tools the energy dump is incredible.

I have an old 30-06 which shot the Core-lokt just fine in the deer woods in Maine out to 200 yards. Now I'm out in CO and would love to take an elk. I'm considering using the 165 gr. tipped Core-lokt extending my range a bit out to 300-350 yards. This rifle had always seemed to shoot 165 gr a little better than any other grain. $10 more for a little higher BC w/ a little flatter trajectory may mean something. My hunt w/this rifle will be next year, but Remington certainly gave me something to think about.

Entertaining & Educational ! I haven't seen any of that nor was I looking but I have a Ruger bolt 308 & have norma. Sierra gambling, Federal and cpl brands of FMJ to sight in & target shoot. Haven't done any hunting yet but want to get hog trip in sometime.

Thank you sir. I have a pile of other .308 rounds I may test some more of.👍
Great video Tools. I would save the $10, and buy primers.

Nice test. On my wish list of rifles is one that shoots 308 and a lever 30-30. The only problem is I have to many firearms on my wish list and not enough money because I keep adding to my wish list but I'll get there eventually lol

That’s why I reload Tools I know what I’m getting with my reloading now. I like the core-lokt in a magnum round.

The tipped version caused more pronounced ignition burns in the gel which implies a more explosive energy dump. Besides that they both produced equivalent PWC's. The soft tips are fool proof performance.
I need some opinion on the .308 180 grain regular core lokt? Good deer round?

Without having tested it, I would say it is. I do plan on testing those and the 150 grain hopefully soon. Also wanna test the powerpoints in both of those weights.
Great video. I like the larger calbiares.

Thank you sir. These things definitely worked the jelly!
The tipped wound channel to me appears to have tumbled. The separation to me is also a concern for hunting applications. I had always used CoreLock in 30-06, but did more hunting for deer that were smaller, ( Florida.) When I went to the .270, I had issues on larger bodied deer in Alabama with jacket separation from the lead core. I thing that would go to higher velocities. I changed to Nosler Partitioned bullets in Fed. Premium and problem solved. I was interested in seeing the difference in the new Remington bullet design. Interesting, there was a 100 fps variance in the 5 shot group in the tipped. That surprised me. Halfmile likely could offer more relevant substance than I if I heard the numbers correctly. I don't know what didn't like that test more, the Jelly, or the table. Great video Tools. Hunters were tuned into this one. Yea, I was 3 hours late.

Better late than never! I wondered about all that lead and jacket separating into the meat myself. Maybe I'm overthinking it but if I hunted, I think I would prefer a really nice expanding solid copper round. But what do I know, I just hunt steel.🤷♂️

@@ToolsandTargets With your thought processes, you could easily transition to hunting meat instead of steel. Bwdik?
Think I like the tipped version a bit better. Hard to tell but it looks like it smacked a bit harder too. With that said, for the price diff, I'd just stick to the soft point. Great video!

Great video as usual Tools, I really enjoyed this one. I’m not a hunter either but If I was, I wouldn’t like that lead on my meat. Maybe I’m exaggerating but I would prefer a lead free round.

For short range hunting I’d definitely take te standard for weight retention and no plastic tips in an AR.
Great video !!
