When you need ammunition that's been proven across continents and decades, the Remington Core-Lokt 220-grain soft point stands out as a no-nonsense choice. This load combines the heavy 220-grain projectile with a design that's worked since 1939, delivering the kind of performance that's made hunters successful for generations.
The heart of this ammunition is Remington's locked-core bullet design. A progressively tapered copper jacket is mechanically locked to a solid lead core, creating a platform built for controlled expansion. The result is approximately 2X expansion while retaining the weight needed for deep penetration through heavy bone and muscle. This balance between expansion and retained mass is what sets the Core-Lokt apart from designs that expand too rapidly or fail to open reliably.
This particular 220-grain soft point launches at 2410 feet per second, generating 2837 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The round-nose soft point profile provides a broad frontal area for energy transfer on impact. With a ballistic coefficient of 0.294, it performs best at closer ranges, which is typical for heavy hunting loads. The soft point design expands rapidly upon impact, transferring maximum energy to the target while the locked core ensures the bullet retains enough mass to drive deep.
Each box contains 20 rounds loaded in reloadable brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers. The ammunition is new production and ready to use straight from the box. The brass cases are suitable for reloading, which is worth noting if you plan to handload ammunition in the future. This is the standard green-box Remington ammunition format that's built to function reliably in virtually any .30-06 Springfield rifle.
The 220-grain soft point is engineered for medium to large game hunting, making it ideal for elk, moose, and larger deer at closer ranges. The heavier bullet weight and deep-penetration design are built to handle the most demanding hunting situations. Due to the ballistic coefficient and trajectory, this load performs best when shots stay within reasonable hunting distances.
Yes. The Core-Lokt ammunition ships in reloadable brass cases with standard Boxer primers. Reloaders can resize and reload these cases multiple times, making this a practical choice if you plan to handload ammunition. Just ensure you follow proper reloading procedures and use appropriate load data for the .30-06 Springfield.
The Core-Lokt uses a mechanically locked copper jacket and lead core construction to achieve controlled 2X expansion. Unlike some modern designs that rely on bonding or other technologies, the Core-Lokt expansion is predictable and straightforward. This simplicity, combined with decades of field-proven performance, makes it a reliable choice for hunters who value consistency over cutting-edge features.
The 220-grain bullet weight is on the heavy side for the .30-06, so expect noticeable recoil in lighter-recoiling rifles. The round-nose soft point profile and lower ballistic coefficient mean this load doesn't maintain velocity or trajectory as well as lighter, more aerodynamic designs. It excels at closer ranges but drops faster at distance, so accurate range estimation is important.
