I've seen Core Lokts blow up on deer too, I've seen them hit bone on elk and turn to schrapnel. I quit using them after seeing those results. I don't think it is a good choice for a .300 Mag. or any other Mag. Not tough enough to handle that kind of speed is my guess. I don't have any experience with the new "Improved" Core Lokt that came out recently.

I know they kill a lot of game, but for an extra $5 - $10 you can get a box of factory loads with a better bullet. You can spend a little more and get a really better bullet. To get the full advantage that a magnum case can offer I think using premium bullets, heavy for caliber, is a must.
