The Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 308 Winchester delivers enhanced terminal performance through its polymer tip design that initiates rapid expansion while maintaining deep penetration. This 165-grain ammunition combines the proven Core-Lokt bonding process with modern tipped bullet technology for superior accuracy and knockdown power on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
The polymer tip design sets this ammunition apart from standard Core-Lokt rounds by improving ballistic coefficient and ensuring consistent expansion at various impact velocities. The tip initiates expansion upon impact while the bonded core construction prevents jacket separation, delivering 95% weight retention compared to 60-70% retention in conventional bullets. This combination produces deeper wound channels and more reliable one-shot stops on deer, elk, and similar game.
Key Features
- 165-grain polymer-tipped bullet with bonded core construction
- Improved ballistic coefficient over standard Core-Lokt rounds
- 95% weight retention prevents jacket separation
- Optimized powder charge for consistent 2,700 fps muzzle velocity
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- 20 rounds per box packaging for convenient field carry
- Compatible with all 308 Winchester chamber specifications
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles at 100 yards. The enhanced ballistic coefficient maintains velocity downrange, extending effective hunting range compared to flat-nose Core-Lokt variants. Terminal performance remains consistent from 50 to 300 yards, making this ammunition suitable for both stand hunting and longer-range applications where precise shot placement matters.
