Remington Core-Lokt .35 Rem 150gr PSP Hunting Ammo

Description

The .35 Remington never gets the attention of trendier cartridges, but hunters who actually use it know what they've got. This 150-grain Core-Lokt load moves faster and flatter than the heavier 200-grain options, making it a solid pick if you're running a rifle with a shorter barrel or just want that extra bit of velocity on deer-size game.

What makes Core-Lokt the choice for .35 Remington hunting

Core-Lokt bullets have been punching tags since the late 1930s because the design just works. The tapered copper jacket locks mechanically to the lead core, which means controlled expansion without excessive fragmentation. You get about 2X expansion, good weight retention, and deep penetration. Out of typical brush gun distances, that's all you need.

Performance characteristics of the 150-grain pointed soft point

This particular load sits at 2,300 feet per second from the muzzle. It's not a flat-shooting cartridge by any stretch, and it never will be. What it does offer is reliable terminal performance at the ranges where .35 Rem rifles actually get used. The pointed soft point profile gives you better aerodynamics than a traditional round nose, so you'll see less velocity drop at distance while still opening up reliably on impact. Practical testing shows the jacket initiates expansion cleanly while the core stays locked in place, preventing the kind of separation that ruins energy transfer on game.

Brass cases built for reloading

These rounds use reloadable brass cases with boxer primers. If you're planning to stretch your shooting dollar, the .35 Rem rewards handloading, and having factory brass on hand is the first step. The cases are solid quality, brass is getting harder to find, and you might as well save what you shoot.
