If you run a .280 Remington and want ammunition you can count on, this is it. Remington Core-Lokt has been the foundation of hunting success since 1939, and the 165-grain soft point load represents a serious step up for medium to large game. The heavier bullet weight gives you more punch than the lighter offerings, making this particularly good for situations where you need extra penetration without sacrificing the caliber's naturally flat shooting characteristics.
The Core-Lokt design locks a tapered copper jacket to a solid lead core, delivering controlled 2X expansion that penetrates deep while maintaining the bullet's integrity. At 2,820 fps with 2,913 ft-lbs of energy, this load sits right in the sweet spot for hunting elk-sized game, hogs, and larger deer at reasonable distances. The soft point nose opens reliably on impact, while the weight retention means you get momentum downrange where it counts. Reloaders appreciate this load too, since the brass cases are reloadable with non-corrosive boxer primers.
The .280 Remington splits the difference between the .270 Winchester and .30-06, which works against it commercially but absolutely works for you in the field. It's easier on the shoulder than heavier magnums, shoots flatter than the .30-06, and with the right bullet weight delivers more knockdown power than comparable .270 loads. The 165-grain Core-Lokt is one of the few factory options that lets you take full advantage of what the cartridge does best. Those who reload often push this caliber even harder, but the factory load provides genuine stopping power with real-world accuracy most rifle setups can manage.
Each box contains 20 rounds of premium hunting ammunition built on consistent brass with reliable primers. This is old-school reliability wrapped in modern manufacturing.
This load works well for medium to large game including deer, elk, hogs, and similar-sized animals. The 165-grain weight provides excellent penetration for tougher game while still maintaining the flat trajectory the .280 is known for. It's a good all-around hunting load if you want something heavier than the factory 140-150 grain options.
Yes, the brass cases are fully reloadable. They feature standard boxer primers, so you can use regular reloading tools and techniques. Many people who shoot .280 Remington reload these cases since factory ammunition options are somewhat limited compared to more popular calibers.
The 165-grain load trades some velocity and trajectory for increased bullet mass and penetration. While lighter 140-150 grain loads shoot a bit flatter, the 165-grain delivers more energy downrange and better performance on larger game at moderate distances. It's a practical choice if you want a single load that handles a wider range of hunting situations.
The .280 Remington has fewer factory options than popular calibers like .270 Winchester or .30-06, so you won't see it everywhere. However, Core-Lokt is one of the most consistently available options, and reloading components are straightforward to source from major manufacturers.
