How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Remington 165-grain Core-Lokt Tipped is a polymer-tipped .30-06 Springfield hunting load made for big game. It is the Core-Lokt with a polymer tip replacing the exposed lead nose. It leaves the muzzle at 2,820 fps with 2,913 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .447.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 22.4 inches at 400 yards, arriving with 1,551 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero it drops 29.6 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's 165-grain Fusion has a bonded core on a slightly higher G1 BC of .454 and drops 22.9 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Winchester's Super-X 165-grain Power-Point has bare lead at the nose and a G1 BC of .341 and off that zero it drops 25.6 inches at 400.
- The most muzzle energy of the 165-grain loads compared
- The least drop at 400 yards of the loads compared, from either zero
- Carries 1,831 ft-lbs at 300 yards, the most of the loads compared
- The heaviest estimated recoil of the 165-grain loads compared
- A lower G1 BC than Federal's 165-grain Fusion at .454
- A lead core under the polymer tip, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
