Product Overview
Remington Core-Lokt 165-grain PSP is a soft point .30-06 Springfield hunting load made for big game. The jacket is locked to the lead core behind a pointed soft point, with bare lead left at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 2,800 fps with 2,872 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .339.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 25.6 inches at 400 yards, arriving with 1,224 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero it drops 33.5 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington's own 165-grain Core-Lokt Tipped puts a polymer tip on the same bullet and starts 20 fps faster on a G1 BC of .447 and drops 22.4 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Winchester's Super-X 165-grain Power-Point matches this load on speed and energy and drops the same 25.6 inches at 400 off that zero.
- The same 2,872 ft-lbs at the muzzle as Winchester's Super-X 165-grain Power-Point
- Carries 1,537 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- Less estimated recoil than Remington's own 165-grain Core-Lokt Tipped
- The lowest G1 BC of the 165-grain loads compared
- Drops 3.2 inches more at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero than Remington's own 165-grain Core-Lokt Tipped
- A lead core with bare lead at the nose, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
