I used corelokts in my 110 30-06 until I started reloading which then I moved to nosler silver ballistic tip. I did not have much problems with meat as at that time shots were not longer than 100 yds so I was consistently shooting necks. Even when I took some broad shots the meat damage was not too bad BUT, I always had exit holes with those corelockts.

I know many people shoot at the shoulder to anchor the deer but i have done that only one time in purpose and it did not look good. In other times it has been the shoulder in the exiting end that I have hit. Not good for meat. If you are getting groups under 1 moa and you can shoot consistently neck shots are the way to go. Unfortunately for me, this lease that I am on most shots are 200 yds plus so at times I shy from neck shots unless it is a very relax deer.
