Product Overview
Remington's latest evolution of the Core-Lokt brings modern engineering to a proven design. The 180-grain Core-Lokt Tipped bullet exits your barrel at 2745 fps, delivering a staggering 3011 ft-lbs of energy downrange. That polymer tip isn't just for show - it's precision-engineered to enhance accuracy while initiating rapid, controlled expansion on impact. Consider it the difference between using a chisel and a precision cutting tool - both work, but one gives you significantly more control over the end result.
Watch this round perform in the field, and you'll understand why serious hunters are taking notice. The Core-Lokt Tipped design creates devastating wound channels through elk-sized game while maintaining its structural integrity through heavy shoulder bones and tough hide. Unlike standard soft points that can get deflected by brush, this projectile drives straight and true to its target. The controlled expansion preserves meat around the wound channel, turning what could be a tracking marathon into a short walk to your truck.
From October's crisp mornings through December's bitter cold, this load adapts to whatever Mother Nature throws at it. That 180-grain bullet weight provides the momentum needed to buck crosswinds in mountain basins, while the polymer tip ensures consistent performance in any weather. Zero your rifle at 200 yards, and you've got predictable performance from point-blank out to where your optics become the limiting factor. It's particularly effective during those late-season elk hunts when shots might stretch past 300 yards and conditions are far from perfect.
- Hybrid tip design blends traditional reliability with enhanced flight characteristics, particularly valuable during shifting morning thermals
- Practical velocity sweet spot reduces meat damage on close shots while maintaining sufficient energy for clean passes through heavy shoulder bones
- Adapts seamlessly between dense woodland and field edge hunting thanks to balanced expansion characteristics
- Forgiving accuracy curve helps maintain consistent groups even when shooting positions are less than ideal
- Shows more sensitivity to aggressive crosswinds beyond 300 yards compared to specialized long-range projectiles
- Middle-ground expansion characteristics require more precise shot placement than rapid-expansion designs
- Enhanced features command a price premium over basic soft point offerings while falling short of top-tier terminal performance
