I recently purchased a bunch of .17 caliber bullets, and one of the bulk boxes was simply labeled with Sharpie, ".17 Rem 25gr". Any idea what these might be? If you've seen them, do they look anything like the old Remington 25gr Corelokt bullet?

The points and OAL are a bit inconsistent, but for the price, I can't complain at all.

They look to be the old REM 25gr PowrLokt. They were the original 17rem bullet and are excellent for both accuracy and terminal performance. The 22 caliber ones were good too. They are a plated bullet like a Fusion.

Ah, PowrLokt, not CoreLokt, I had the wrong name there. Thanks for that and for taking a look.

Does the plating make a difference in barrel fouling?
