Good job.

I'm surprised we couldn't get much of an argument over core-lokt bullets.  There are a ton of people who swear by them.......and a few (like me) who swear at them......

remington core lokt's are one of the few factory loads i can get for a 7x64 so i was considering giving them a try..... unil i found some nice hornady's for the same price.

i could probably add 4 more pages........ remington sucks, ruger sucks, winchester sucks, mariners suck, and leupold has 3rd rate glass.

since this thread has kind of turned to individual rounds, has any one used the fusion?

Bobcat...you've been right all along!  Bullet weight and selection is as important as any other attribute in determining terminal performance on big game.  I was joking in my first response, didn't mean to send this thread off on a tangent.  I should know better in this kind of medium...

Now then, where's my .45-70 and 500 grain solids, I see a coyote in the front yard.....

I'm feeling kinda trollish today. 

Leave it to the pros unless you enjoy seeing "an error has occured".

you know someone did a good job of pissing the mods off when everyone within a thousand miles gets blocked because of it.

Did I do that?

if I had posted as much over there as i do here, you never would have found that post. lol

Sticking with the thread topic and attempting to bring us into the 5 page status, I'll recomend alternating the rounds in your rifle.
 
Chamber the 165 grain, then follow it up with a 180, then 160, then 180, etc...

It's the best of both worlds.

need to figure out what shoots best out of your rifle, that combined with good marksmanship will kill any animal on land. Even an elephant, no problem.
