The Core-Lokt is notorious for expanding too rapidly at close range from an '06. It does not work well at high velocity... like out of a .300 Win Mag. It's not a penetrator, either, if it hits substantial bone on the way in at high velocity, and has a reputation for ruining a lot of meat on a shoulder shot at close range. A great bullet for deer hunting in the eastern woods with a .30-30, not so great for use in a high velocity cartridge. I know from personal experience that it pulps everything in the chest cavity if it doesn't hit a rib on the way in.
This bullet is why Nosler made a business out of selling the Partition to reloaders.
