The Remington Core-Lokt 280 Remington 165-grain soft point ammunition delivers proven terminal performance for medium to large game hunting. This controlled-expansion bullet design has accounted for more big game harvests than any other hunting ammunition in North America over the past eight decades.

What Makes This Different

Core-Lokt technology mechanically locks the lead core to the copper jacket, preventing core-jacket separation that plagues standard soft point bullets. The tapered copper jacket controls expansion while the bonded core ensures 60-80% weight retention for deep penetration. This design maintains bullet integrity through heavy bone and muscle tissue where cheaper ammunition often fragments.

Key Features

  • Mechanically bonded lead core prevents jacket separation for reliable expansion
  • 165-grain bullet weight optimized for 280 Remington ballistics and energy transfer
  • Soft point design initiates controlled expansion on impact for effective wound channels
  • Tapered copper jacket maintains structural integrity through heavy resistance
  • Factory-loaded with consistent powder charges for repeatable accuracy
  • Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading applications
  • 20-round boxes provide sufficient ammunition for hunting trips and range sessions
The 280 Remington cartridge generates approximately 2,820 feet per second muzzle velocity with the 165-grain Core-Lokt bullet, delivering 2,913 foot-pounds of energy. This performance profile handles elk, deer, black bear, and similar-sized game at ranges extending beyond 300 yards. The bullet maintains sufficient velocity for reliable expansion at extended distances while providing flat trajectory characteristics for precise shot placement.
