The Remington Core-Lokt 45-70 Government 405-grain soft point ammunition delivers the stopping power and penetration needed for large game hunting. This proven cartridge combines Remington's time-tested Core-Lokt bullet technology with the legendary 45-70 Government cartridge for reliable performance on elk, bear, and other big game.
What Makes This Different
The Core-Lokt bullet design features a tapered copper jacket that locks to the lead core, ensuring controlled expansion and weight retention of up to 95%. Unlike standard soft point bullets that can fragment on impact, the Core-Lokt maintains structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle. This 405-grain loading generates approximately 1,330 fps muzzle velocity and 1,590 ft-lbs of energy, providing the deep penetration required for ethical harvests on large North American game.

Field testing demonstrates reliable feeding in popular 45-70 platforms including Marlin 1895, Henry Big Boy, and Ruger No. 1 rifles. The soft point design initiates expansion upon contact with soft tissue while the locked core maintains momentum through heavy bone structures. This ammunition performs consistently in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 125°F, making it suitable for hunting conditions from Alaska to the Southwest. The moderate recoil characteristics allow for quick follow-up shots when necessary.
