The Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 243 Winchester delivers enhanced terminal performance through its polymer tip design that initiates rapid expansion while maintaining deep penetration. This 95-grain ammunition combines the proven Core-Lokt technology with modern ballistic tip engineering for superior hunting effectiveness.
What Makes This Different
The polymer tip design sets this ammunition apart from traditional soft-point bullets by improving ballistic coefficient and ensuring consistent expansion at various velocities. The Core-Lokt construction locks the lead core to the jacket, preventing separation during impact. This combination delivers approximately 15% better downrange energy retention compared to standard Core-Lokt rounds while maintaining the reliable expansion hunters have trusted for decades.
Key Features
- 95-grain polymer-tipped bullet optimized for 243 Winchester chambering
- Core-Lokt technology bonds lead core to copper jacket for controlled expansion
- Improved ballistic coefficient reduces wind drift and extends effective range
- Consistent muzzle velocity of approximately 3,185 feet per second
- Premium brass cases engineered for reliable feeding and extraction
- Factory-loaded with temperature-stable powder for consistent performance
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
Field testing demonstrates effective performance on medium game at ranges extending beyond 300 yards. The polymer tip initiates expansion at lower impact velocities, making this load suitable for longer shots where traditional bullets might pencil through. Hunters report clean, ethical kills on deer-sized game with proper shot placement. The ammunition functions reliably in bolt-action, semi-automatic, and single-shot rifles chambered in 243 Winchester.
