Need to see the ballistic tables to check how they both are at 200 and 300 yards. Do they reduce drop or drift? As for the tip helping consistency in expansion? Said nobody ever: I wish these Core-Lokts would open up better. Great video BTW - love the down-range chrono and jelly.
Thank you sir. That would for sure add some value if they have some greatly increased performance once you get pretty far out. for most people's hunting ranges, I'd say they are nothing special.
@@ToolsandTargets yup
That was cool and very interesting. The traditional Core-Lokt .308 is my chosen deer hunting round out of that single shot NEF Handi Rifle. I would not spend any extra for the tipped given what was shown here. I was not prepared for the violence of the impact with that Gel. Holy Smokes! That was impressive. Darn good shooting Tools and a great video.
Thank you sir. Have to agree that I would keep the extra ten bucks in my pocket. That gel wanted to be the first jelly block on the moon!💥💥💥
If your shooting inside 300 yards it really doesn't matter which one you use...
If your shooting beyond that with handloads your a fool to not use the tipped (presuming your find a good load) because of retained performance
@@aaronunterseher1627 naw screw that!!! if you're reloading for 308, you load 155gr bergers cause they have a bc of .517 which is freaking awesome for 308!!!
I had a friend who had a NEF single shot. He let it go to get a bolt action. He still says he wishes he would have kept it!
@@allenbolen9705 Sellers regret, we've all been there. Only thing worse is a case of buyers regret. It's a vicious circle 😢
I think with the price difference I would be happy with just the regular core lock
100% agree!👍
Core Lokt
Yep. At a certain point, "improvements" to ammo just makes it fancy, but not significantly more effective. IMHO, the companies shouldn't waste time on R&D for this kind of thing.
"Hey, that wasn't an expensive, fancy-tipped bullet, so I'm not gonna die for you," said no deer ever.
But deer fall over faster if the bullet is more expensive and newer! And when the new stuff comes out, the older bullets just stop working as well. Maybe deer are adapting and become old school core-lokt proof? :)
The regular core loc are awesome and work every time
They both performed amazingly well! The amount of energy it takes to break the board and the table is nuts. I’d take whichever one was available to me without a second thought or doubt
Absolutely. These things brought the pain!
Great video Tools. I would save the $10, and buy primers.
Thank you sir. Definitely agree with that one!
Been shooting the original core lokt .308 for years and they have never given me a reason to change. Great video very interesting. As always great job tools keep it up.
Thank you brother. I sure wouldn't change up after seeing this.👍
bringin out the big guns
I might become a full time deer hunter next!💥🦌💥
Gotta start somewhere
This is the video I was eagerly waiting for. Thanks for showing the difference in the two . It helps us decide if the price difference is worth it.
Appreciate you checking it out. I'm no expert but I would save my $10.🤷♂️
I think I would go with the reg. core lokt non tipped vs the tipped as they are $10 a box cheaper and virtually no difference in performance. Very interesting test for sure. Have a good one brother and I will see you on the next one.
Definitely agree. Appreciate ya catching the premiere!
the ballistic coefficient is different makes a difference at longer range negligible at 350 yards and under
Must be nice, 20 rounds near me is $37 😭
When these hit that Jelly I actually said "Holy S&%*" Even the wife came over to see this! I knew the 308 was a beast but dad-gum! Very Nice video and excellent shooting! Definitely would not pay $10 more tho!
LOL, my wife asked what I shot it with when she saw the video too!😂😂😂
I would think the tipped version might make a difference out at longer distances, but for hunting... and I don't hunt myself, but from what I hear, around here at least (NC), most deer are taken at 100 yards or less.
💥🦌💥
Personally I always used the regular CoreLockd bullets they Always got the job Done, in many different Calibers they just Work, Thanks Tool's
I would definitely say they are every bit as good or better than the tipped. Appreciate ya brother!
Another great test Tools. You just keep upping your game on the testing, very informative and fun to watch. Picked me up a 22LR Wildcat yesterday too add to my collection based on your review of it. Hoping to get the Heritage Rancher this week too add to my Heritage collection as well. Keep the videos coming, love watching them and what you do for the 2A community.
Really appreciate the comment brother! I think you'll really like both of those!😎
The cor-lok 180grain SP is the only thing I've used for 40 years....KILLS EVERYTHING.!
💥🦌💥
Thanks tools. I just said I wasn’t spending any more money this month and after watching this I just ordered a AR10 from PSA and 200 rounds of core lok lol
LOL, you're welcome!😂
I've been trying to convince my wife for years now that soft things are better.... ty tools can't wait to show her this
🤣🤣🤣
dont you want to her to turn your soft ware to hard ware....
What a coincidence. I can't believe it. We've both been telling her the same thing for years. (sorry i couldn't resist the stupid joke.)
@@ToolsandTargets this was my favorite test you have done please do more hunting rounds one I would really like to see is something with 270 if you have that and love your content brother thank you
@@DontTreadOnMe-ig3pc Thank you sir. I'll see what I can some up with.👍
I've got a feeling that the new tipped Remington is maybe lacking against the original??? 🤔🤔 Probably wrong
Never know Randy, You could be dead on with that!
It's a secret!😉
Awesome video, really appreciate you putting that much effort into test these rounds. I think you just started a new trend, lol. Now we are going to wanna see .223, .300 blk and all the other popular rifle rounds. Keep up the good work
Thank you sir. I'm already getting more rifle requests.😂
Just about what I thought it would be. I’ve always liked the core loct ammo.
Thank You for another great video.
Keep em coming.
Thank you sir. They both made the jelly dance!
Man that mucked up the jelly lol! Wow on both, I believe you are ready to harvest a deer for sure! Seemed the non-tipped was more consistent on the chrono between shots and performed better than the tipped into bare gel. Maybe the tipped had a slower round into the gel so it came up a little short! Looked like that tipped bullet left a dirty black wound cavity that I would not want to have in my deer to clean or cut away. For that reason I choose the non-tipped, plus the price too! Guess you would get whatever is on the shelf if you need it either would get'r dun! Rocked that Jelly good! Peace brother!
Yessir. Sent the jelly flyin. I agree though if I have the choice, I'm takin the regular.👍
Another great video. I have Always liked the core lokt and had good luck with it. Hope Rem. don't try to phase out the old PSP for the new tipped version just so they can get more money. They have been super hard for me to find. We know how most of Rem. price has been of late. Really liked that accuracy test also. I think that is a great addition to the jelly test. Keep em coming brother!
Thank you sir. They would probably have a bunch of rioting hunters if they tried to get rid of the standard soft point!😆
I just bought 3 boxes of remington 308 corelokt, at Walmart and I have 7 boxes of federal powershok 308 all 150gr. I have found for standard calibers like 308, and 30-30, and 30-06 that the federal blue box and the old school corelokt ammo is loaded to the exact same specs, and In my rifles works about the same for accuracy, and performance on game.
Yeah, I liked the way ya did this video. But I like all ya videos so for me to say I like this one better than any of your other ones you know I am a big hunter and I definitely like the educational part of it. But I like them all man....you do a great job! Keep up the great work brother and be safe. ✌
Appreciate that brother!😎👊
I think the for the price I would definitely not spend the extra $10.00 love the video Stay Safe and God Bless 🙏🙏
Thank you brother. Appreciate you catching the premiere!
@@ToolsandTargets I really enjoyed it👍
Both worked great, will probably stick with the non tipped due to price and the fact that I shoot 3/4 moa with the non tipped out of my browning x bolt hunter in 308. I also shoot less than 1 moa out of my ruger m77 mk2 in 30 06. Really appreciate this video.👍👍
Thank you sir. Have to agree, sub moa out of this AR with the regular soft point tells me there aint no need to switch to the tipped ones.🤷♂️
I like the soft point, it’s put a lot of groceries in the freezer. The penetration is not much better than the punch but a heck of a lot more ka-Boom from the 308 . Enjoyed the video man. That was some good shooting into the gel. U sure do a good job on keeping your gel clean and clear.
Thank you sir. It's starting to get a little yellow tint to it but still got some life left in it for sure.😎
Excellent comparison. I wish they could make a smoother soft point.. but I guess that's beyond the material. The Federals I got were all mashed up from when they seated the bullet. I suspect that's got more to do with the plastic tips than just ballistics.
Great video sir! Don’t see how you could have made it better!
Thank you brother. Appreciate that!
I'm glad you did this test. It doesn't change my mind only confirms my thoughts. I have used Core-Lokt PSP in both 30-06 and 308 for years. It is my go to round for deer.
The tipped ammo is to have a better Balistic Coefficient. So at longer range it might be more accurate, but one need to ask if they should be taking long range shots on game and not can they make long range shots on game.
Very well said.👍
If you should depends on if your capable of it, I always figure don't shoot any farther at game then your practice. If your whitetail hunting then there's not really a necessity, if your out west then the closest shot you get may be 500 yards across a valley.
Of course one must also know the limits of the cartridge, just because you can hit a elk at 500 yards with your .243 doesn't make it a good idea.
@@ToolsandTargets there is also another consideration with the tipped core lokt I have heard in favor of them in heavier animals like Boar and Elk the point is there to aid with penetration and begin the penetration in a more controlled manner. Not sure though but it does seem like they would help on Eastern Elk.
Great video! Would definitely like to see more if these hi power rifle caliber videos.
Very happy to see Remington plant cranking out ammo again. More ammo supply is better than less ammo supply!
😎👍
Tools is it true UA-cam is banning the use of 30rd mags and full automatic fire as to demonitize videos that do not comply?
They have that option but they've always pretty much had that "rule." They just put it in writing now to "clarify" their stance. It's all about intent and the entire context of a video when it comes to what they will monetize. People making videos out of these "changes" are doing it for sympathy views to be honest. The big channels saying they can't do it are actually pathetic since they make enough on sponsors to still clear thousands of dollars per video. They can post any content they want. They say they "can't" but what they really mean is they wont because they want every single penny of revenue they can get from ads, on top of the huge sponsorship money. Which is totally fine but they're being dishonest about it.🤷♂️
Wow, well said. I appreciate you putting that into context I can understand. That is shady to say the least. Thanks Brother.
A while back I took a shot at an 8pt white tail ( 190-200 lbs ) was using Federal Core Lock. $18.99 a box of 20 pre shortage prices. 150 grain. Shot was only 60yds. Probably a clone of the Remington. I looked immediately to see which direction he was headed after shooting but he was gone. It was my son’s rifle and I was in disbelief that I could’ve missed from that range. Especially aiming just below the shoulder. I waited 10-15 min and walked over where he was when I fired and found him laying within inches of where he was standing, the shot evidently knocked him off his feet and he was probably dead when he hit the ground (when we processed him it was a clean heart shot). This year I shot another large 8 point at a 150 yds with the same cartridge, same shot placement but this guy ran around 70 yds. Point being that the hydrostatic shock of a 308 inside 80-100 yds is massive, so for short range hunting as demonstrated by Mr. Tools the energy dump is incredible.
Nice! These things definitely dumped some serious energy.💥😎💥
Great test tools I think for the price I would stick with the soft tip. They really did a job on that gel!!!
Thank you sir. The gel is still in shock!
The tipped version caused more pronounced ignition burns in the gel which implies a more explosive energy dump. Besides that they both produced equivalent PWC's. The soft tips are fool proof performance.
Definitely would not spend 10 extra based on what I saw here. Last year I was gifted an old box of .308 core lokt with the 180gr rounded soft point and I dropped a nice 8 pointer with a shot just behind the shoulder no problem.
To see if there's a 10 dollar difference probably should check group sizes at 200 yards or 275 yards. I think about 275 yards is maximum point blank range. Meaning that if you zero at 275 yards it should hit inside a 6 inch target being 3 inches high closer and no more than 3 inches low out to about 350 yards. I didn't explain it exactly right but that's the general idea depending on ballistics and bullet drop.
What barrel lenght were you using? I'm getting around 2510 fps from my sig cross 308 with a 16 inch barrel. Ammo is federal fusion 165 grain. I think for that weight tbe velocity is not bad so from the 150 grain i should be getting over 2600 fps but i just got my sig cross and i have only tested the 165 and i zero it with that round. I will other rounds with different grain weights netx time i go to the range.
Great test! Very impressive to see the energy dump on video. I would enjoy seeing more videos like this. Thanks!
Thank you sir. The energy dump was crazy!💥
That’s why I reload Tools I know what I’m getting with my reloading now. I like the core-lokt in a magnum round.
👍
It's not worth the difference in price to me, now I think its 15 dollars more for the tipped than original. I don't deer hunt long distance, here its about 100yds in the woods so original core works for me.
Well Tools this is pretty serious stuff with these 2 Remington 308s! Good work!
Thank you sir. This stuff meant business!
I already use both of these - the core locked for hogs & the tipped for mule deer , perfect on both counts
💥🦌🐷💥
I'd say both would be fine for black bear. Super test
Wow! Energy is incredible! I agree with you and others, I think I’d save that extra ten bucks towards something else! Great video! Might have to limit these kind of tests, otherwise you might have to have an open account for tables at Costco/Sam’s Club! Lol!👍🏻
You aint kiddin! Almost sent my jelly into the next county and It'll take half a roll of duct tape to repair the table!😆
Federal Fusion, Winchester Trophy Bonded or Remington Core Lokt. Either of the three, you’re doing good
Got these in classic SP 180gr 😋🦅🦅🦅 luckily bought them 3yrs ago 😂
I think I will stick to the PSP 150 grain, not much difference between them and I know my rifle likes the older load.
Great Jelly Test Tools I would go with the Regular core lock for Deer 🦌 Stay Safe Stay 2A Strong 🇺🇸
Thank you sir. Agreed!
Where do I get me a shirt like that Bro
Got it off amazon.👍
Great video as usual Tools, I really enjoyed this one. I’m not a hunter either but If I was, I wouldn’t like that lead on my meat. Maybe I’m exaggerating but I would prefer a lead free round.
Lead keeps ya strong!😜
Good Stuff. Jelly TIME
Thank you sir!
Remington corlocks have been some of the most consistent factory ammo I've ever used How about testing pointed and round nose same bullet weight thanks
Nice, very informative video. New sub!
I'm with you. I see no advantage to using the Core-Lokt Tipped over the Pointed Soft Point.
The idea on the science is there but for the money, I just don’t see worth $10 more. Great video as always!
Thank you sir. 100% agree.👍
Save the 10 bucks 🙂👍🇦🇺
Agreed.👍
I have a difficult time trusting Remington ammo, in 2018, the Core Lokt that I bought in 30:06 shot scattered groups, could not get them to hit where I aimed. Found a box about ten years older, shot like it should have, driving tacks. I figured that the multiple bankruptcies resulted in some sort of changes in quality control, or powder formula.
I don't doubt that at all. I have a bunch of older late 90'sish Core-Lokt in .30-06.
The tipped wound channel to me appears to have tumbled. The separation to me is also a concern for hunting applications.
I had always used CoreLock in 30-06, but did more hunting for deer that were smaller, ( Florida.)
When I went to the .270, I had issues on larger bodied deer in Alabama with jacket separation from the lead core. I thing that would go to higher velocities.
I changed to Nosler Partitioned bullets in Fed. Premium and problem solved.
I was interested in seeing the difference in the new Remington bullet design. Interesting, there was a 100 fps variance in the 5 shot group in the tipped. That surprised me. Halfmile likely could offer more relevant substance than I if I heard the numbers correctly.
I don't know what didn't like that test more, the Jelly, or the table.
Great video Tools. Hunters were tuned into this one.
Yea, I was 3 hours late.
Better late than never! I wondered about all that lead and jacket separating into the meat myself. Maybe I'm overthinking it but if I hunted, I think I would prefer a really nice expanding solid copper round. But what do I know, I just hunt steel.🤷♂️
@@ToolsandTargets
With your thought processes, you could easily transition to hunting meat instead of steel.
Bwdik?
Very very informative I have always used cor locked and have never lost an animal in my 308 that includes elk moose mule deer and white tail
I might have missed it if you mentioned it but how long is your barrel?
Thank you so much for this video. It was very informative! You do such an excellent job at this. I have been hunting for years and have always used the core locked .308 caliber in my Mauser 660 with a 24-inch Krupp steel barrel. It has never failed me. I can't see the extra $10 for the ballistic tip. But I would not have known that without your experiment. Once again, thank you so much for your expertise in this subject.
Really appreciate the comment! Glad I could be some help!😎👍
For short range hunting I’d definitely take te standard for weight retention and no plastic tips in an AR.
Sup brother!!!🇺🇸
What's happenin!😎👊
I like the way you compared these two bullets I’ve been waiting for this 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank you sir. It was a very cool test.😎
Na. Kick. That. Few. Mo. Dollars. An. Get. Better. Powder. Because. It's. A. Hollow. Point. Stronger. Powder
Thanks for making this detailed test. I prefer bonded or copper bullets to avoid the fragments. Great video !! Perfect length if they thinks it’s too long they can turn off you already got the view 😁
Thank you sir. I was wondering about all the fragments myself.
Great results. Excellent content. Thank you so much. Looks promising for this new offering. Old core-lokt isn't a bad option.
Thank you sir. They both rocked the jelly's socks!
Bullshit ! It's about being able to shoot straight think they call it practice !
The tipped version will probably be more reliable in autoloaders. My armalite is older, and the manual recommended against soft point bullets.
It may have better ballistics out at 200 yards plus too.🤷♂️
Nice presentation Tools!♠️🎩☯️
Thank you sir. Thanks for tuning in!
@@ToolsandTargets Yw
Tie goes to the cheaper round
Agreed!👍
Hey TOOLS! My thoughts are about the same as the rest of the clan here. The 2 are practically equal so the cheaper one wins! Take care, Brother!
Thank you sir! Definitely have to agree.👍
Dommage que c'est pas traduit en français belles vidéos
Tools Had to watch this again for got watching this JELLY test still thank you did a good job. That REM Core-Lokt has always been good Ammo used a bunch in 30-30 great on DEER 👍🏻 Wish they wood let me hit the like button again but NO 👍🏻 Maybe some day you could do another would really like to see 308 WIN, 165GR, ELITE HUNTER TIPPED Sig Sauer if you could find it ?
Thank you sir. I definitely wanna do some more rifle testing soon.👍
I shoot 308 Winchester at long distance at targets. 800 to 1200 regularly and out to 1500 on occasions. A Savage m10 heavy fluted barrel 24" stock with hand loads. I've been interested in an Ar platform in 308 for some time. What brand rifle, barrel and twist is yours if you don't mind me asking? If you answered this already I apologize.
If I may be so kind to say, you should try out the Federal Gold Metal Match for testing groups. Top notch consistently in velocity and accuracy in lots of different weapons platform's. I would be very interested to see both grouping and gel testing with the Sierra Matchking. Not recommended for hunting by Sierra. If you do test, make sure the tip is open or even enlarge it a bit. Maybe suprising results. This used to be used in Armed Forces as a sniper bullet in 168gr and my preferred, 175gr bullet. A 1/10 twist is pretty common and will usually work fine with either bullet. At 600 yards a 308 Winchester still thumps whitetail.
Great videos.
Keep'em coming!
Nice! This is a PSA upper I put on a PSA lower I put together. 20" 1:10 twist. I'll definitely have to check those rounds out because I just picked up a new rifle in .308 to test against this one. I have several different ammo types and I think Sierra Matchking might be one of them. Thank you sir!
I've whacked plenty of shit with jacketed soft point bullets.....Federal, Remington, Sierra all excellent bullets for hunting rifles! Accuracy very good as well!
That being said, I pay for the Nosler Trophy Grade Accubond with the ballistic tip. Tbe price is significantly different, but accuracy at 500 yards is noticeably better.
Makes sense for shooting out that far.👍
I shoot Nosler ballistic tips in my 30-06 my 243 and 25-06. I shoot the Nosler Accubonds in my 300 Winchester magnum. I like your videos Tools just do what you do buddy see y’all soon GOD BLESS
Thank you sir.😎
The tipped cor lokt is meant for longer range shooting. Looking at the 180 grain 308, the regular has a ballistic coefficient of .248, which by today's standards is absolute garbage. The tipped 180 grain has a bc of .480 which is pretty good. So yes, if you are hunting within 0-300 yards the regular cor lokt is probably safe. But if you want to reach out and touch something, the tipped would be a better choice.
👍
So basically, if you’re the type of person that has to have the best of the best, the Tipped ARE better, but probably not $10 better. If money is no issue, get the tipped, but I don’t think you’ll ever have a situation hunting where you say, “dang, if only I’d of had the tipped core loks”. Is tipped objectively better, yeah, but will it make a practical/real life difference? Probably not.
Yep.👍
Either one is devastating, but I think the extra $10 isn’t worth it for the tipped. Thanks for the test🙂
Definitely agree. Appreciate you brother!
Those are so close. I would just buy the cheaper non tipped version.
Agreed. I doubt most people would ever see a difference even at long ranges.
Amazing how slow, and how much the .308 imitates .300 Savage whenever you are using short barrels. .308 does not have any bragging rights about "being close" to .30-06. it's plenty powerful as shown here for deer hunting, but a powerhouse it is not.
😎👍
Also, you’re confusing the shit out of the viewers
The tipped version is for the open range hunters 4-600 yards lol
Which you should already know.
If I was hunting a climber in brush country of course I’d go with the regular old school version, but if I was hunting the mountains I’d go with the tipped version bc of the ballistics, that’s your $10. Come in mannnnn lol
👍
The same green box soft point core loks my grandad gave me a half used box of us same ones I use and have used for 20 years never had a deer not die although I’ve used the 30-06 version of them mainly I have some in 308 for my AR10 but have never used them they just sit in a mag incase one day I feel like walking out to a tree stand toting my AR10 but … that’s never gonna happen maybe if I go hog hunting I’ll use em but for deer hunting don’t be that guy taking a AR10 or 15 to the hunting camp get a old Remington 742 or Browning Bar in some nice wood grain and blued you will look like you have way more sense /taste in firearms if you have to have a semi auto for hunting that is.
👍
60-100fps difference between the same loads. Could be a chronograph error. However since this seems to happen very often, it's clearly poor quality control from the factory. 200 yards and beyond that can mean a lot of difference in point of impact from one bullet to the next. That could equal wounded or unfound animals. With the precision loading that factories have today, that much variability shouldn't be acceptable. The animals we hunt deserve it. Great stuff for practice and closer shots but there's better options.
😎👍
Thx bro! For $10 less we will go regular! 😆
All day long!👍
One factor that the testing doesn't take into account is what happens at range. 56 yards doesn't give enough time for differences in performance to manifest themselves. Run the same tests at 200-300 yards, and I'd expect to see bigger differences. If they really are that similar, then you can see that the best performer of the day was Remington's marketing department, who are managing to get $0.50 per round more just by inserting a piece of plastic and hyping that up.
Marketing is king these days with so many suckers walking around.
They both will truly do the trick
Absolutely!
I'll tell you right now Tula I've used for The last 5 years a retain a lot of their weight that's why I use the 165 SP
I wish they would make a 150 sp
But drill a tiny hole on the FMJBT 150
in to govt 148 grain try it out against old school like my grandfather would used to new ballistic tips.
.308 will get the job done.😎👍
Seeing as how white tail deer are my primary big game targets, and I have used Remington Core Lokt for over 40 yrs. successfully, I guess I will stick with them. Why fix what ain't broke?
Makes sense to me.😎👍
Hey man. I'm late watching because I was at the VT/DUKE football game yesterday. I don't see $10 worth difference. I like this video a lot. If you want to do some of these videos with other rifles. I've got a few I'd let you use.
Appreciate that brother. Problem is, I don't really have any other hunting calibers besides 30-06.😆
Remington Core Lokt has been performing just like that for many years. There are more expensive bullets out there, but are they really better? You can likely get a little more accuracy, a little more range, and a little more terminal performance, but the Core Lokt still works very well on big game, and does it at a better price. And hell, ammunition is high enough without paying for Noslers and Sierras.
Amen!😎👍
I think the ammo makers are making a royal screw up when it comes to ammo right now. The number 1 problem they all currently need to fix is ammo availability at a decent price point. I don't care how much better their latest and greatest offering is if I can't find it or afford it if I do. The old standard bullets did a great job on deer size game at reasonable ranges which is what 98% of us do anyway. Don't try to upsell me a Cadillac when all I wanted and needed was a good old affordable farm truck....
Amen!
Neither both are garbage... I have lost 3 deer because of the lousy performance of the core locd bullets...since switching to Federal Premiums with the Nosler Partitions one shot kills on 25 different animals from deer to moose and everything between...
🤷♂️
I went hunting today with 7.62x39 Ruger American ranch. 123 Federal Fusion 123 Bonded soft point.
Nice. I have some soft point 7.62x39 Tula.
Interesting display of real world ballistic coefficient... two rounds , same everything.. but ones a non boattail psp. And the other is a boattail ballistic tip....
I really had fun doing this one.
I Great video, at this point with ammo you buy what you find. I have used Reg Cor Lok for 30 years but just bought 3 boxes of the tipped, I think the video shows you cant go wrog with either..
Agreed.👍
not worth the extra money IMHO....i use the round nose in my 308 ...have shot the pointed too but i think the round nose seems to give a little more knock down and busting brush but as i said that's just me..thanks again tools for the jelly fix...
Agreed. The tipped didn't show me anything the soft point didn't do.👍
again nice testing, great grouping. I don't see a $10-$12 price difference to be worth it at all. but for those who don't see the ballistic Jelly tests wont know the difference ( if there is a difference) and pay the price thinking they really have something new and improved!
Thank you sir. I totally agree. If I didn't have the ability to test them like this, I would just assume they were something way better.
@@ToolsandTargets yes but at longer range. Would they expand better? Just saying.
@@justinlance4174 🤷♂️
I'm take regular core lokts I've shot my 1st few deer with 150 gr 30-30 core lokts and my 1st two bucks with them you I could put my fist 👊 tru the exit wounds
Agreed. The regular Core Lokts got the job done very well!
I was hoping for UA-cam gold, by you hitting the chronograph.
Especially since these rounds made the Gelly do the worm...😂
Yet you know that I destroy everything including the Gelly...
Because Iam thought this was Murica...😁😂
I was clinched!😆
@@ToolsandTargets Yes, you looked like you were trying to get that world record turd out. When you were doing the Chronograph portion of the test...😂
One is meant for long range while the other is more like 400 yards and closer. 308 at 60 yards should be very consistent with decent rounds but extend out to 700 and see which rounds are on target. Much different results with the tipped ammo.

Isn't that rifle in LR-308 🤔 does it have a curve on it 🧐 PSA⁉️ or angle cut that's AR-10 style. They do make good rifles.
