I used some 150gr corelokts on a couple of whitetails last year they worked great.

The core-lokts is what I was going to use but around here they are over $20.00 a box. I got a flyer in the mail Friday from Midway where they had the Powershok for like $11.95 so I was thinking on ordering them and give them a shot.

The only thing is the shipping charge on hazards mat.

There's no hazmat fee on small arms ammo, just on powder and primers, it does have to be shipped ground tho.

Checked the Midway web site to order a few boxes and as my luck would have it they were sold out.

GBO sponsor Midsouth has the Power-Shok ammo regular priced at $13.83 a box. ;)

Check your local Walmart...Mine here sells it for under $10.00 a box...and so does the local Cabelas...with up to a $10.00 rebate for 2 boxes...or $5.00 per box

I've bought a few boxes this month...

 ;D I used this ammo on Goats one shot and it dropped like a stone. Great ammo accurate and it's what I'll shoot at my cow Elk in a couple of weeks. Can't wait for the hunt to happen. I have been using it exclusively for the past couple of years. Check out the 308 Ultra range report. Jess
