Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 Springfield 180gr Soft Point Ammo 20rd

The Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 Springfield 180-grain ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance for big game hunting across North America. This proven soft point design has accounted for more deer harvests than any other factory load, combining controlled expansion with deep penetration for clean, ethical kills.

What Makes This Different

The Core-Lokt bullet features a lead core mechanically locked to the jacket, preventing core-jacket separation that plagues standard cup-and-core designs. This bonding process maintains 95% weight retention even after impact with heavy bone, ensuring the bullet tracks straight through vital organs. While conventional soft points often fragment or veer off course, Core-Lokt bullets mushroom uniformly to nearly twice their original diameter while retaining structural integrity.

Key Features

• 180-grain soft point bullet optimized for 30-06 Springfield ballistics
• Mechanically locked lead core prevents jacket separation on impact
• Controlled expansion creates consistent wound channels in game animals
• Progressive taper jacket design initiates expansion at the tip while maintaining base integrity
• Muzzle velocity of 2,700 fps generates 2,913 ft-lbs of energy
• Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading
• Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliable feeding and extraction

Field testing demonstrates effective performance on medium to large game at ranges from 50 to 300 yards. The 180-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for penetrating heavy muscle and bone on elk, moose, and large deer. Trajectory remains relatively flat out to 250 yards, making holdover calculations straightforward for hunting applications. The soft point nose design ensures reliable expansion even at reduced velocities encountered at longer ranges.
