Remington's Core-Lokt Tipped takes their legendary hunting bullet and adds a sharp green polymer tip that cuts cleaner through the air and expands more reliably when it counts. The 165-grain weight sits right in that sweet spot for .308 Winchester hunting, balancing velocity with penetration and energy retention. You get the proven Core-Lokt jacket design that's been hammering deer and elk since 1939, now refined with the polymer tip advantage.
That green polymer tip is more than window dressing. It improves your ballistic coefficient, which means flatter trajectories and less wind drift at longer ranges. It also creates a more uniform shape during flight, leading to tighter groups. When the bullet hits game, the tip shoves back into the hollow point cavity and initiates controlled expansion. Multiple test reports show this ammunition grouping better than the standard Core-Lokt, often landing closer than an inch for three shots at 100 yards.
The 165-grain bullet launches at 2,700 fps with a muzzle energy of 2,671 foot-pounds. This is the middle-ground weight for the .308, delivering more penetration than lighter 150-grain loads while keeping velocity up compared to heavier bullets. That balance works for whitetail at normal hunting distances and holds up when you're reaching for elk or other larger game. The Core-Lokt jacket is tuned for penetration with controlled expansion, not violent fragmentation that wastes energy.
Each box contains 20 rounds of quality brass-cased ammunition. The brass cases and consistent loading mean these rounds feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-automatics alike. Remington's quality control shows in the tight tolerances—when someone took them to the microscope, five cartridges varied by only .003 inches in length, which is tight for factory ammo.
The tipped version adds a green polymer tip that improves the ballistic coefficient and creates a more uniform shape for better accuracy, especially at longer distances. The tip also promotes more predictable expansion on impact. Testing shows the tipped version groups tighter and maintains velocity better downrange than the original design while still using the same proven Core-Lokt jacket technology.
The 165-grain weight is one of the most popular for .308 hunting because it balances velocity, energy retention, and penetration. It works well on deer and hogs at normal hunting ranges and has enough payload for larger game like elk when you're making good shot placement. If you're hunting smaller game or want maximum flatness at distance, 150-grain loads are lighter. For bigger animals or extreme range, heavier loads starting at 180 grains might be better.
Yes. The polymer tip is more consistent than exposed lead tips, which actually helps feeding in semi-automatic actions. Remington's quality control shows tight manufacturing tolerances with minimal variation between cartridges. Many shooters report reliable feeding in both bolt-action and modern semi-auto platforms, though you should always test any new ammunition in your specific rifle first.
At 2,700 fps, this load sits right in the middle of the typical .308 range. Most 165-grain hunting loads run between 2,680 and 2,750 fps depending on the rifle and barrel length. This velocity is sufficient for clean, ethical hunting at normal field distances and gives good energy retention at distance compared to lighter bullet weights.
