The Remington 250 Savage 100-grain Core-Lokt ammunition delivers proven terminal performance for medium game hunting with consistent accuracy and reliable expansion. This classic hunting cartridge combines Remington's time-tested Core-Lokt bullet technology with precise manufacturing standards that hunters have trusted for decades.
What Makes This Different
The Core-Lokt bullet design features a lead core mechanically locked to the jacket, preventing core-jacket separation during expansion for maximum weight retention. Unlike standard soft-point bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the Core-Lokt maintains 65-75% of its original weight while creating controlled expansion channels. This controlled expansion translates to deeper penetration and more reliable energy transfer on deer-sized game at typical hunting ranges.
Key Features
- 100-grain Core-Lokt soft point bullet with locked core design
- Brass cases with boxer primers for reliable ignition and reloadability
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 2,820 feet per second
- Muzzle energy rating of 1,765 foot-pounds for effective terminal performance
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent chamber pressures

Field performance data shows this load maintains effective expansion velocities down to 1,800 fps, making it suitable for shots out to 250 yards on whitetail deer. The 100-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and sectional density for the 250 Savage cartridge, delivering flat trajectory while retaining sufficient mass for clean kills. Weather-resistant primer sealant and case mouth seal protect against moisture in field conditions.
