The Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 Springfield 180-grain pointed soft point ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance for big game hunting. This proven cartridge combines controlled expansion with deep penetration, making it a trusted choice for hunters targeting deer, elk, and similar-sized game across North America.
What Makes This Different
The Core-Lokt design mechanically locks the lead core to the copper jacket, preventing separation during expansion. Unlike standard soft point bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the Core-Lokt maintains 95% weight retention while creating a controlled mushroom that transfers maximum energy to the target. This construction has accounted for more big game harvests than any other centerfire ammunition design.

Field testing demonstrates consistent 2-3 inch groups at 100 yards from quality bolt-action rifles. The 180-grain bullet weight provides excellent sectional density for penetration on medium to large game, while the pointed design maintains flat trajectory out to 300 yards. Weather-sealed primers and powder charges ensure reliable ignition in hunting conditions from arctic cold to desert heat.
