what I find funny is people lose a deer and then say the boolit failed. How would you know that. I haven't lost one cause I shoot quality bullets i havent either, actually I havent even tracked one for a very long time

Isn't that special :roflamo: try use those cheap arse bullets on panhandle deer and muleys and you won't be so lucky.

I shoot alot of Nosler Ballistic Tips in the bigger calibers. Never had one come apart on me. U will and most likely at worst possible time. The tsx has probably had more problems with them failing to open, sometimes they work, sometimes they dont.

 So if those TSX boolits failed for you, how were they recovered to get pics of them? 
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

He is google king until you shoot em vg have a nice cup of stfu, you have no experience with them so you google pics that you have no clue where they came from of what they did and at very low velocities, 2000, 2200 that is a velocity issue have you not read? I always say light for caliber and at high velocities  2000-2200ft per sec ain't gonna do it!

keep using them you'll soon have one fail too, guarantee it. TSX,s are snake oil and arent much better than the X which had there problems too. All copper boolits are haveing trouble, there just to darn hard for reliable expansion.

Run em light and fast no issues, hell I may have some extras laying around in .284 or .30 try em at the max loads and light you will change you mind. But you can't run heavy for caliber at low velocities bad things will likely occur I agree.

the point is these are whitetail and muleys not cape buffalo, nothing bonded, solid or heavy construction is needed. Yer buying into it, im not. Its a fix for a problem that doesnt exist

Seems the discussion has moved away from .243 VS .223 but I'd take a .243 any day.

Alot of hooplah.........I'd take the 243. My buddy hunts with an older savage in 243 and uses 100 gr Remington CoreLokts. He's taken 3 "Panhandle" whitetails and one hog with it the last couple of years with no issues.

So now corlokts are the bullet of choice? Shoot whatever bullet outta whatever cartridge you want to, and if it works for you  if it don't then you will know there are options to switch to, and hopefully you won't have to come that conclusion. Geez!

So now corlokts are the bullet of choice? They've worked fine for a long time, just like the Speer Hot Cor, Winchester PowerPoint, and Hornady Spire Point. Most of us who work hard to buy our "cheap arsed" rifles aren't going to cough up $3 a pop for magic boolits when cup and core has worked well for decades, even in the panhandle on mulies. Just my
