Product Overview
Remington 125-grain Core-Lokt PSP is a soft point hunting load made for big game. Remington locks the jacket to the lead core behind a pointed soft point. It leaves the muzzle at 3,140 fps with 2,736 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .268.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 22.3 inches at 400 yards, arriving with 957 ft-lbs. Nothing else in .30-06 Springfield starts faster.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Custom Lite 125-grain SST is the loaded-down bullet at the same weight and starts 440 fps slower on a G1 BC of .305 and drops 29.5 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Remington's 150-grain Core-Lokt Tipped carries 25 more grains on a G1 BC of .415 and off that zero it drops 21.1 inches at 400.
- The fastest start of any .30-06 load compared
- The least drop at 400 yards of the light .30-06 loads compared, 7.2 inches under Hornady's Custom Lite 125-grain SST from a 200-yard zero
- Carries 1,273 ft-lbs at 300 yards, more than either of the lighter-loaded 125- and 130-grain loads compared
- The lowest G1 BC of the .30-06 loads compared
- About 19 percent more estimated recoil than Hornady's Custom Lite 125-grain SST at the same bullet weight
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required. Barnes' VOR-TEX 130-grain TTSX Reduced Recoil is the copper bullet among the light loads
