Product Overview
Remington Core-Lokt 140-grain PSP is a lead-core .260 Remington hunting load made for big game. The Core-Lokt is a pointed soft point, with lead bare at the tip and the jacket locked to the core. It leaves the muzzle at 2,750 fps with 2,351 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .435.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 8.3 inches at 300 and 24.0 inches at 400, arriving with 1,219 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero the 400-yard figure is 31.8 inches.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Superformance 129-grain SST starts 180 fps faster on a higher G1 BC and from a 200-yard zero drops 20.0 inches at 400. DoubleTap's 130-grain Swift Scirocco II lands within half an inch of the Hornady at 400 yards and arrives with 1,503 ft-lbs.
- The heaviest bullet of the .260 Remington loads compared, at 140 grains
- Keeps 1,450 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- 247 ft-lbs more at the muzzle than Nosler's Trophy Grade 130-grain AccuBond
- The hardest-kicking .260 Remington load compared, about 10 percent more estimated recoil than Hornady's Superformance 129-grain SST
- The lowest G1 BC of the loads compared, at .435, against .571 for DoubleTap's 130-grain Swift Scirocco II
- A lead core with bare lead at the tip, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
