I was using the 165gr core-lokts until I got into handloading... and now I'm never going back

Best partitions I've found so-far (and there are off the shelf equivalents for each)
* Nosler 168gr ballistic tip
* Barnes 168gr TSX HPBT (OMG..)

All can be found online or in most major sporting goods retailers.

I hand loaded 150 gr  of several manufactures. They all shot well in my Springfield 03-A3. I shot coyotes, deer (all three types), elk, pronghorn, caribou and bear. I never needed more than the 150 gr. It is all shot placement and a accurate bullet.
