Description

This is Remington's Core-Lokt handgun ammo, bringing over 85 years of proven big-game performance to revolver and pistol hunters. The 237-grain jacketed hollow point bullet features the iconic Core-Lokt design that's earned its reputation for consistent, controlled expansion on whitetail, hogs, and black bear.

The bullet's construction uses a heavy mid-section that locks the core and jacket together, preventing separation while promoting reliable expansion and impressive weight retention. This design delivers maximum energy transfer to your target without over-expansion that can cause premature bullet failure. The hollow point initiates expansion reliably across a range of velocities, making this load practical for different hunting distances.

Loaded in nickel-plated brass cases, these cartridges cycle smoothly through your revolver or pistol. Nickel-plated cases offer better corrosion resistance than standard brass, valuable if you're carrying your ammo into wet conditions or storing it long-term. They also feed more smoothly thanks to their naturally lower friction surface, reducing the chance of feeding issues.

At 840 feet per second from a handgun barrel, you get 380 foot-pounds of energy. The 20-round box format gives you enough for practice, hunting preparation, or a decent range session. These loads are specifically prepared for handgun barrels and revolver velocities, so they're not suitable for rifle use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this .45 Long Colt or .45 ACP ammunition?

This is .45 Long Colt ammunition. The .45 LC and .45 ACP are two different cartridges with different case lengths, designs, and firearms they're meant for. They cannot be used interchangeably. The .45 Long Colt is the revolver round with a longer case, while .45 ACP is used in semi-automatic pistols. Always verify your revolver or firearm's chamber marking before purchasing ammunition.

What firearms can use this ammunition?

This ammunition is designed for .45 Long Colt revolvers and single-action handguns. It can also be used in some lever-action rifles that accept .45 LC cartridges. Do not attempt to fire this in any firearm marked for .45 ACP or other calibers. Always confirm your firearm's chamber specification before loading.

Is the Core-Lokt bullet suitable for hunting?

Yes, these bullets are specifically engineered for hunting. The 237-grain Core-Lokt hollow point delivers the controlled expansion and penetration needed for whitetail, hogs, and black bear at handgun ranges. The design prevents jacket-and-core separation while promoting reliable expansion and weight retention.

Why is this ammunition loaded with nickel-plated cases?

Nickel-plated brass offers two main advantages over standard brass. It resists corrosion better, making it ideal if you store your ammo long-term or use it in wet hunting conditions. The nickel also creates a slicker surface that cycles more smoothly through your firearm's action, reducing potential feeding issues.

Can I reload these cases?

Yes, nickel-plated brass cases can be reloaded. The primary benefit of nickel plating is corrosion resistance and easier feeding. If you plan to reload extensively, keep in mind that nickel cases are harder than standard brass and may wear dies slightly faster with repeated reloading.

What's the difference between Core-Lokt and other hollow point designs?

The Core-Lokt design is built around a heavy mid-section jacket that locks mechanically to the lead core. This tapered jacket design controls expansion predictably without allowing jacket-and-core separation. The result is consistent performance and deep penetration even in larger game, which is why it's been trusted since 1939.
