Product Overview
Remington's Core-Lokt 120 grain load launches at 2,990 feet per second, generating 2,382 foot-pounds of energy. The heavier bullet weight in this classic hunting round adds momentum that lighter .25-06 loads lack. That extra mass helps the bullet punch through angled shots and retain weight during expansion—factors that matter when a deer offers less than an ideal broadside presentation.
Core-Lokt bullets have anchored deer since 1939, making them one of the most field-tested hunting projectiles ever produced. The controlled expansion design features a tapered copper jacket that's mechanically locked to a solid lead core. This construction prevents fragmentation while still creating effective wound channels. The pointed soft point initiates expansion reliably across a wide velocity range.
Hunters pursuing whitetails in thick timber or mule deer in broken country will appreciate this load's dependable terminal performance. The 120 grain bullet carries enough sectional density to reach vitals from steep quartering angles. Shot placement matters more than bullet exotics—this proven design has filled countless tags for generations of American hunters working diverse terrain.
- The 120 grain weight provides more momentum and penetration than lighter .25-06 bullets for tougher shot angles
- Core-Lokt's 85+ year track record demonstrates reliable terminal performance across generations of hunters
- Mechanical jacket-to-core lock prevents premature bullet breakup common with conventional soft points
- Wide retail availability at hardware stores, sporting goods shops, and online
- Flat-base PSP design sacrifices ballistic efficiency compared to boat tail bullets from Nosler or Berger
- The 2,990 fps velocity with the heavier bullet creates more drop than 100 grain options at extended range
- Not bonded construction—may not match Federal Fusion's weight retention on heavy bone impacts
