Remington's High Performance Rifle series in .308 Winchester pairs practical pricing with the legendary Core Lokt bullet design that has filled more tags worldwide than any other load. This 180 grain pointed soft point boat tail load sends rounds downrange at 2640 fps, giving you the velocity and energy needed for clean, ethical shots on medium to large game. The boat tail profile improves ballistics and extends your effective range compared to standard soft point loads.
The Core Lokt bullet is the original controlled expansion design, featuring a progressively tapered copper jacket locked to a solid lead core. This combination delivers roughly 2X expansion on impact while retaining weight for deeper, more consistent penetration. Unlike aggressive expanding rounds that shed too much mass, the Core Lokt design balances rapid energy transfer with the penetration needed to reach vital areas even on larger game at distance. That's why the .308 with 180 grain bullets remains a favorite among elk and moose hunters who need reliable performance in the field.
With a ballistic coefficient of .540, this load maintains energy and accuracy at extended ranges. The tight manufacturing tolerances and premium components ensure round-to-round consistency, so each shot behaves like the last. New production brass cases with Boxer primers mean you have the option to reload, extending the value of every box. The combination of the boat tail profile and proven Core Lokt performance makes this a solid choice whether you're hunting open country where distance matters or timber where brush-busting power counts.
No. While some prefer lighter weights in shorter-barreled rifles, the 180 grain load works well in standard .308 rifles. Military precision rifles have used 175 grain loads for decades, and the 180 grain Core Lokt provides excellent ballistics with only about 80 fps velocity loss compared to 165 grain loads. The heavier bullet delivers more kinetic energy, making it particularly effective for elk and larger game.
The 180 grain Core Lokt is designed for medium to large game including deer, elk, moose, and similar-sized animals. The controlled expansion and weight retention make it reliable for shots at varying distances. While effective at extended range, many hunters consider this load ideal for hunting at 350+ yards where the boat tail design helps maintain velocity and energy.
Yes. These rounds come in reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers, so you can reload them after firing. The tight manufacturing tolerances of Remington's High Performance Rifle series make the brass suitable for reloading, extending the per-round value over time.
The standard Core Lokt relies on the traditional soft point design for expansion, while the newer Core Lokt Tipped adds a polymer tip for improved long-range ballistics and slightly higher velocity (2640 fps vs. the standard load). Both use the same proven Core Lokt jacket and core design. The standard version is effective and offers good value for traditional hunting applications.
