Name that hunting bullet.

Picked these up today as a grab bag. 149ish grains at .278 on my caliper. I' assuming 270/6.8. Looks like a good deer buster for 100yds and under here in WNC. Any ideas or info on them?

Looks like a Hornady Round Nose to me. That's my WAG...

Speer hot cor

Ditto

I don't think it is a Hot Cor. The ones I've used for a .270 didn't have a cannelure. My Grand Slams do, but the bullet profile is different than what's pictured here.

Another vote for Core Lokt by Remington.

 

[brokeasajoke]

Well I was hoping for a .284 but 233 bullets for $35 ain't bad so i jumped on it but I can't use them. I may post in classifieds

WAG??? I would expect that with the scientific types we have on this forum, it would be SWAG.

The way the lead comes to those points on the bottom makes it look very much like an old school remington bullet. I've fired a pile of them out of my 30-30.

 

[brokeasajoke]

They measure .277-.278. It would be awsome if they were .30cal

I cannot recall the early Rem round nose Core-Lokt bullets, all that I have handloaded or bought in Factory ammunition has has a scalloped jacket at the nose.
I do have some early Norma RN bullets in .308 caliber that mimic this profile albeit without a cannelure.
Hope you find your answer.

Oughta be the nuts for a tube fed lever gun.

 

[brokeasajoke]

I'm a lead nose fan for bolt guns too because I never shoot a deer over 75yds. I've just had good luck with them.

Sierra Pro Hunter?

 

[brokeasajoke]

I was guessing corlokt or grand slams.

Sierra Pro Hunter?

After checking my 180gr .308 prohunters (I actually forgot I had them and stumbled across them a couple hours ago) they favor a lot.
