just don't shoot the Winchester PEPs. Eventually you'll have a deer that looks like you shot it with buckshot. rifleman: just curious, were you referring to the 90gr PEP's or the 120gr PEPs? thanks

120s, I had a box of the 90s and just shot them up for the brass. I have shot 3 deer w/ nothing between me and them that had 5+ entrance wounds and no exit.

wow. I have never used them as I am a reloader. But several friends use them a lot and have always been satisfied. Never know, I guess.
I assume you have had better luck with the Remington CorLokts?

I don't use Rem ammo, so can't say I've had any luck. I used those PEPs for years and they were working fine, then I started stretching my shots out and some of the bullets were just coming apart before reaching what they needed to.
edit: I am shooting rem in a 7mm-08, but probably won't be after I finish up the 3 left in the box.
