The .30-40 Krag might be over 130 years old, but in the right hands it still puts meat in the freezer. This Remington loading pairs the proven Core-Lokt bullet with specifications that have worked since the cartridge's heyday. At 2430 fps with 2360 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, the 180-grain Pointed Soft Point round carries enough authority for deer and elk out to moderate distances while keeping recoil manageable.
Remington built their reputation on the Core-Lokt bullet, which has been their go-to for hunters since 1939. The key is how the tapered copper jacket mechanically locks to the lead core, rather than just sitting there by pressure. This design prevents jacket and core separation during impact, which means the bullet expands in a controlled, predictable way. Testing shows the Core-Lokt expands to roughly twice its original diameter while retaining about 65-80% of its weight. That's solid performance for field conditions, and it explains why multiple generations of hunters have trusted it.
The 180-grain Pointed Soft Point represents the sweet spot for modern .30-40 Krag ammunition. The spitzer shape of the PSP bullet gives you better ballistics than older round-nose designs, meaning flatter trajectory and less wind drift compared to historical loads. At this velocity and weight, the round offers the kind of accuracy and energy delivery that vintage Krag rifles can group consistently at reasonable hunting distances. The reloadable brass cases let reloaders squeeze extra value from each shot.
If you're working with an original Krag-Jorgensen or one of the stronger modern actions that chamber this cartridge, these loads are designed to work. The moderate velocity and pressure specs keep things safe across the board. For collectors running vintage military rifles, this is the kind of ammunition that respects the rifle's heritage while still delivering the hunting performance needed in the field.
These loads work well for deer and elk hunting at short to moderate ranges. The 180-grain Core-Lokt PSP delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration that's proven effective on medium-sized game. While the .30-40 Krag isn't as powerful as a .30-06 Springfield, it's reliable when shots are placed in the vitals and distances stay reasonable, typically within 200 yards.
Yes, Remington loads this ammunition to specifications safe for original Krag-Jorgensen rifles. The 2430 fps velocity and moderate chamber pressure keep things within safe limits for vintage military actions. That said, if you own an original rifle, it's always smart to inspect the condition of your firearm before shooting. Stronger modern actions that chamber .30-40 Krag also handle these loads without issue.
Absolutely. The ammunition comes loaded in reloadable brass cases with a standard Boxer primer, which means you can reload them using standard .30-40 Krag reloading dies and components. Many handloaders prefer Krag brass because the cartridge's long neck is well-suited for casting and loading heavier bullets if you decide to tailor loads for specific purposes.
The Core-Lokt features a tapered copper jacket that mechanically locks to the lead core, preventing jacket and core separation on impact. Standard soft-point bullets can separate under extreme conditions, losing energy transfer and penetration. The Core-Lokt's design provides more consistent expansion and weight retention, which translates to more reliable performance when it matters most in the field.
