Does anybody have any experience with this heavy of a bullet on from an '06? Remington produces one in the core lokt and Federal has one its power shok line. It looks like they start out at about 2400 fps. I'm curious what the trajectory would be like out to about 300 or so yards. Do you think they would buy you anything over the 180 grain standard soft point bullets on steep angling shots or encounters with heavy bone? I know a light, little 150 in a Barnes TTSX will penetrate as good as about anything out there, but a 220 grain core lokt could be pretty cheap insurance on a less than ideal shot rather than the spendier premiums. I'm not too terribly worried about long distance shots so the "rainbow trajectory" wouldn't be a huge deterrent to me over lighter premiums. This would be for elk too as I realize there would definitely be no benefit from a bullet this heavy on deer-sized game.
