The Remington Core-Lokt 6.5 Creedmoor 140-grain pointed soft point delivers proven terminal performance for medium to large game hunting. This ammunition combines the ballistic efficiency of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge with Remington's time-tested Core-Lokt bullet technology for reliable expansion and deep penetration.
What Makes This Different
Core-Lokt technology mechanically locks the lead core to the copper jacket, preventing separation on impact for maximum weight retention. While standard soft point bullets can fragment and lose effectiveness, the Core-Lokt design maintains structural integrity through bone and tissue. The pointed soft point profile provides superior ballistic coefficient compared to round nose designs, delivering flatter trajectory and retained velocity downrange.
Key Features
- 140-grain pointed soft point bullet with mechanically locked core
- 6.5 Creedmoor chambering for long-range accuracy and moderate recoil
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Boxer primers for consistent ignition
- 20 rounds per box packaging for convenient range sessions
- Compatible with all 6.5 Creedmoor rifles and chambers
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications
Field performance demonstrates effective expansion at velocities from 1,800 to 2,700 feet per second, making this load suitable for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. The 140-grain bullet weight provides optimal sectional density for the 6.5mm bore diameter, balancing penetration with manageable recoil. Weather-resistant primer sealing and quality control testing ensure reliable function in hunting conditions.
