Description
The Core-Lokt 150-grain soft point has earned its reputation the hard way: by putting game in the back of trucks for over 85 years. This isn't trendy ammunition. It's the kind that works because the design actually does what it's supposed to do, and hunters have verified that on everything from whitetail to elk.
What Makes Core-Lokt Core-Lokt
The bullet's tapered copper jacket is mechanically locked to a solid lead core, and that lock is the whole point. When it hits game, this design gives you controlled expansion that reaches nearly twice the bullet's original diameter while maintaining the weight retention you need for penetration. You're not getting explosive vaporization or minimal expansion. You're getting a bullet that opens up predictably across a wide velocity range, which matters whether you're at 50 yards or pushing distance.
Performance at Standard Velocities
This load leaves the muzzle at 2850 fps with 2705 foot-pounds of energy. That's a solid, proven velocity for the .270 Winchester platform. The 150-grain bullet weight gives you that extra mass that helps with deeper penetration on larger frame game, which is why this load sees a lot of use in areas where elk and bigger whitetail are on the menu alongside deer. The round holds velocity well downrange, so your energy at extended distances stays respectable for ethical hunting shots.
Built to Reload
Remington packages these in 20-round boxes with reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive boxer primers. If you reload, the brass doesn't wear out after one firing, and the consistent quality you get from factory ammunition carries over into your handload experiments. That also means these rounds have a longer useful life in your ammunition inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is the 150-grain Core-Lokt suitable for?
The 150-grain Core-Lokt load works well on deer, elk, and other large medium to big game. The heavier bullet weight compared to lighter .270 loads gives better penetration on larger animals. That said, shot placement always comes first. A well-placed 150-grain Core-Lokt will drop game efficiently at reasonable hunting distances.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Yes. Remington packages these with reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive boxer primers, so you can reload them after firing. The brass quality from Remington is consistent, which helps with your handload accuracy and consistency. Just inspect cases before reloading as you normally would.
How does the 150-grain compare to the 130-grain Core-Lokt in .270?
The 150-grain carries more bullet mass and hits with slightly more energy downrange, making it better suited for larger game or tougher hunting conditions. The 130-grain shoots a flatter trajectory and carries less recoil. For general deer hunting, either works fine. For elk or longer-range situations, many prefer the 150-grain's retained energy.
What is the ballistic coefficient for this round?
The Core-Lokt 150-grain soft point has a ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.261. It's not the highest BC bullet available, but it's designed for controlled expansion at standard hunting velocities rather than extended-range performance. Remington makes tipped versions with higher BC if you're regularly shooting beyond typical hunting ranges.
