The Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 300 Winchester Magnum delivers exceptional long-range performance with its polymer-tipped design that combines rapid expansion with deep penetration. This 180-grain ammunition transforms the proven Core-Lokt technology into a high-velocity hunting round that maintains accuracy at extended distances while ensuring reliable terminal performance on large game.
What Makes This Different
The Core-Lokt Tipped bullet features a polymer tip that initiates expansion upon impact while the lead core remains locked to the copper jacket throughout penetration. This design prevents jacket separation that commonly occurs with standard soft-point bullets. The streamlined tip reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to traditional Core-Lokt rounds, resulting in flatter trajectory and retained velocity at longer ranges.
Key Features
- 180-grain polymer-tipped bullet with lead core locked to copper jacket
- Optimized powder charge for 2,960 fps muzzle velocity in 24-inch barrel
- Streamlined bullet profile maintains 2,150 fps at 300 yards
- Controlled expansion design retains 65-75% of original weight
- Premium brass cases with boxer primers for reliable ignition
- Factory crimped for consistent chamber pressure and accuracy
- Compatible with all 300 Winchester Magnum chamber specifications
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles with proper barrel harmonics. The 180-grain weight provides optimal sectional density for elk, moose, and large deer at ranges extending beyond 400 yards. The polymer tip remains intact during magazine feeding and chambering, eliminating deformation issues common with soft-point bullets in magnum cartridges. Terminal ballistics show reliable expansion down to 1,800 fps impact velocity.
