Description
Remington brought back the Core-Lokt name with a major upgrade. The polymer-tipped design keeps everything that made the original so reliable for big game over the past 75 years, while adding serious velocity and ballistic performance for longer shots. At 3340 fps muzzle velocity, the 150-grain load delivers flat trajectory and carries its energy downrange where it matters most.
Why the Polymer Tip Makes a Difference
The green polymer tip isn't just cosmetic. It improves the bullet's ballistic coefficient compared to traditional soft points, which means less wind drift and a flatter shooting profile. More importantly, the tip initiates rapid expansion on impact while the locked Core-Lokt jacket maintains weight retention for deep penetration. The center of gravity is shifted slightly rearward as well, which contributes to the match-grade accuracy Remington developed through thousands of rounds of testing.
Built for .300 WSM Performance
The .300 Winchester Short Magnum lives in that sweet spot between power and portability. This 150-grain load represents the optimal weight for the cartridge when you want moderate recoil without sacrificing stopping power. The short magnum case delivers results out to extended hunting ranges while fitting nicely into standard-length rifle actions. With 3715 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, the load stays supersonic and effective on elk, deer, and other medium to large game at distances where precision matters.
Ready-to-Use Brass Cases
Each box contains 20 rounds loaded in reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, so you can continue getting use from your brass long-term. The ammunition comes consistent in quality, with ballistic tables printed on the back of the box for quick reference in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the polymer tip on this .300 WSM load different from standard Core-Lokt?
The polymer tip increases the ballistic coefficient, which translates to a flatter trajectory and less wind drift compared to exposed lead tips. The tip also initiates rapid expansion on impact while working with the Core-Lokt jacket's controlled expansion to retain weight for deeper penetration. This design keeps the accuracy advantage of Core-Lokt while delivering modern ballistic performance.
Is the 150-grain load suitable for long-range hunting with the .300 WSM?
The 150-grain weight hits a good balance for the .300 WSM. It maintains supersonic velocity at extended hunting distances and handles wind better than lighter loads, making it capable at typical big game ranges. The polymer tip's improved ballistic coefficient helps considerably with long-distance performance compared to older bullet designs.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Yes, the brass cases come with standard boxer primers and are fully reloadable. Many hunters reload .300 WSM to customize loads for their specific rifles and hunting needs, making these cases a good value over time.
What game is this ammunition designed for?
The Core-Lokt Tipped 150-grain load is purpose-built for medium to large game including elk, mule deer, whitetail, and similar-sized animals. The combination of velocity, energy, and controlled expansion makes it effective across typical hunting ranges and terrain.
