Core-Lokt has been the go-to choice for hunters since 1939, and this 180-grain .308 Winchester load carries on that legacy. The cartridge sits right in the sweet spot for medium to large game hunting, offering the velocity and energy needed for effective penetration without excessive recoil in a standard rifle.
The Core-Lokt design locks the copper jacket directly to a solid lead core, which prevents jacket separation during impact. This means the bullet expands at a controlled rate while maintaining nearly complete weight retention. On impact, the soft point creates a broad frontal area that initiates rapid expansion, driving through heavy bone and muscle while creating a devastating wound channel. It's this combination of expansion and penetration that has made Core-Lokt such a reliable choice across multiple continents.
You get factory-loaded ammunition with professional quality control built in. Each round loads to 2620 feet per second at the muzzle with 2743 foot-pounds of energy. The brass cases feature boxer primers for those who like to reload. Whether you're working up loads at the range or just grabbing a box for a hunting trip, you know what to expect from factory ammunition that's been proven to work.
The 180-grain weight works well for hunting applications ranging from whitetail out to elk and similar-sized game, depending on your rifle's accuracy and your shooting ability. The ballistic coefficient of 0.248 keeps the bullet on target at hunting ranges, and the heavier projectile delivers more energy at distance compared to lighter loads.
This load is designed for medium to large game hunting, including whitetail, elk, moose, and similar-sized animals. The 180-grain bullet weight provides sufficient energy and penetration for these applications at typical hunting ranges. Your specific success will depend on shot placement and your rifle's accuracy with this ammunition.
Yes. Core-Lokt ammunition comes in reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, making them suitable for handloaders who want to work up custom loads or stretch their ammunition supply. The brass quality and consistency make it a solid choice for reloading.
The Core-Lokt design locks the jacket to the core, which limits jacket separation and promotes nearly complete weight retention. This creates reliable, predictable expansion rather than fragmentation. You get a larger wound channel from controlled expansion plus the benefit of deep penetration, which is what hunters rely on for ethical, quick kills.
At typical hunting ranges (under 300 yards), this ammunition performs well. The ballistic coefficient of 0.248 means the heavier 180-grain bullet holds velocity better than lighter loads. Beyond 300 yards, you'll want to account for bullet drop, though the flatter trajectory of the soft point design helps. For shots beyond 400 yards, you should verify performance with your specific rifle.
