Remington Core-Lokt Tipped for Elk

[WAB]

Hi folks, looking for advice regarding Remington's new Core-Lokt Tipped ammo in 300 WM. I've been having difficulty finding factory ammo with higher quality bullets I prefer to shoot (I don't reload). Concerned that the shortage may continue into the summer and fall. Our local gun shop has the CL Tipped in stock. I've seen the previous threads here about using the standard CL bullets for elk. Remington's web page (https://www.remington.com/core-lokt-tipped.html) has cross sectional images of the standard CL bullets and the CL Tipped - there appear to be some differences. Would like to hear opinions about the likely terminal performance on elk of the new CL Tipped vs. the standard CL. I'm wondering about what happens if this bullet hits bone. Much appreciated.

Looks like you’re going to be just fine using them. It’s all about shot placement.

Core-Lokt have been killing things for years! Just shoot em and don't miss.

Remington corelokts have killed probably more elk than any other of the major brands besides Maybe the Winchester super x. They have been around since before most of the new brands started developing

They are all I shoot, have taken over 15 elk and numerous deer with them in a 30/06 and 7mm. I usually find the bullet in the hide on the far side.

What are you shooting them out of? Where is your shot placement?

Antelope to Elk, that's all our family shoots.

It’s about bullet performance as much as placement. But those will definitely get the job done.
