The Remington Core-Lokt 300 Winchester Short Magnum delivers proven terminal performance for medium to large game hunting. This 150-grain ammunition combines flat trajectory with controlled expansion to maximize effectiveness on deer, elk, and similar-sized game at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Core-Lokt technology locks the lead core to the jacket through a controlled expansion process that retains 95% of bullet weight on impact. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets that may fragment, the Core-Lokt design maintains structural integrity through bone and tissue. The 300 WSM cartridge delivers magnum performance in a shorter case length, allowing use in standard-length rifle actions while maintaining velocities comparable to the 300 Winchester Magnum.
Key Features
- Core-Lokt bullet technology with lead core mechanically locked to copper jacket
- 150-grain projectile optimized for medium game hunting applications

Field performance demonstrates consistent accuracy and reliable expansion across various hunting scenarios. The 150-grain bullet weight provides optimal balance between velocity retention and energy transfer for shots ranging from 100 to 400 yards. Weather-resistant primer sealing ensures reliable ignition in adverse hunting conditions, while the boat-tail bullet design enhances ballistic coefficient for improved long-range performance.
