[QUOTE="Calamity Jake, post: 2644020, member: 12219"] I have not shot the Rem. Corelokt ammo but have the Corelotk bullet, IME the bullet is JUNK, at least in the 6.5 bullets that I have. In my 6.5X55 swede this bullet shoots a 3.5+ in. group at a 100, a Hornady or Sieria of the same weight with the same loading practices shoots under 2" My loading tweaks are: 1 dedicate brass to rifle in ? then neck size only with some brand of dies better than LEE(RCBS, Redding ect). 2 pick a powder that fills the case to 85% or better. 3 Seat bullet OAL to just touch the lands if the magazine will allow, max length for the mag if not. 4 If neck tension seems to vary greatly then I dump powder remove primers and anneal the necks. 5 Check bullet to case runout, if it is more then .003 I use them for foulers/barrel warmers.
