Product Overview
Remington's Core-Lokt has earned its reputation as America's most popular hunting bullet through decades of reliable field performance. This 180-grain pointed soft point exits the barrel at 3120 fps with 3890 ft-lbs of energy behind it. The .300 Weatherby Magnum's substantial case capacity provides the power, while the Core-Lokt bullet delivers the terminal performance hunters have trusted since 1939.
The Core-Lokt design uses a tapered jacket that controls expansion from the nose back, while a "locked" core prevents the lead from separating during impact. This creates a bullet that expands reliably on soft tissue yet holds together when it hits bone. The result is a wound channel that quickly incapacitates game. At 0.383 BC, the bullet won't match polymer-tipped designs at extreme range, but within 350 yards it performs admirably.
Deer and elk hunters who don't need boutique ammunition will find this load does the job without complication. The lower cost compared to premium options makes it practical to practice with the same ammunition you hunt with, which improves accuracy when it counts. The brass-cased cartridges reload well for those who want to extend their investment. For straightforward big game hunting at reasonable distances, the Core-Lokt continues to prove why it's lasted this long.
- Over 80 years of proven hunting performance across countless game animals and conditions
- More affordable than premium ammunition, allowing hunters to practice with their hunting load
- Wide retail availability makes finding replacement ammunition easier than specialty brands
- Controlled expansion design mushrooms reliably while the locked core prevents fragmentation
- Boxer-primed brass cases reload well for handloaders wanting to reduce long-term costs
- The 0.383 BC produces more drop and wind drift at range than modern high-BC bullets
- Velocity at 3120 fps runs 100-150 fps slower than comparable Weatherby-branded ammunition
- Traditional soft point design lacks the aerodynamic advantages of polymer-tipped bullets
- Best suited for shots under 350 yards where the lower BC won't significantly impact performance
