The Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 Springfield 220gr soft point delivers proven big game performance with controlled expansion and deep penetration. This heavyweight bullet configuration excels at taking down larger game at extended ranges where maximum energy transfer matters most.
What Makes This Different
The Core-Lokt design mechanically locks the lead core to the copper jacket, preventing separation during impact for consistent mushrooming. Unlike standard soft point bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the Core-Lokt maintains 65-75% weight retention through bone and heavy muscle. The 220-grain weight provides 15% more momentum than lighter 30-06 loads, translating to deeper wound channels and more reliable terminal performance on elk, moose, and large deer.

Field testing demonstrates consistent 2-3 inch groups at 100 yards from quality bolt-action rifles. The heavy 220-grain bullet maintains supersonic velocity past 400 yards, making it effective for long-range hunting situations. Temperature stability remains consistent from -20°F to 125°F, ensuring reliable performance across hunting seasons. The soft point nose initiates expansion reliably on medium to heavy game while the locked core prevents over-expansion in dense tissue.
