The Remington 257 Roberts 117gr Core-Lokt Soft Point is a proven choice for hunters pursuing medium-game at extended range. This centerfire rifle ammunition pairs Remington's legendary Core-Lokt bullet design—refined over decades—with the efficient .257 Roberts cartridge, delivering reliable terminal performance on deer, antelope, and similar-sized game. Each box contains 20 rounds, with 10 boxes per case for those who stock up for the season.
The 117-grain soft-point bullet is engineered for controlled expansion and weight retention, characteristics that matter when you're making a clean kill at distance. The tapered copper jacket is mechanically locked to the solid lead core, resisting premature or erratic deformation on impact. This design philosophy has made Core-Lokt the standard for hunters who demand consistency across varying hunting conditions and distances.
The .257 Roberts cartridge itself is a respected option for long-range hunting—accurate, efficient, and gentle enough to minimize recoil while delivering effective downrange energy. Shooters often appreciate the balance: less kick than larger magnums, but significantly more velocity and range than smaller varmint rounds. If you're running a .257 Roberts rifle and want ammunition you can trust, Remington's factory-loaded rounds eliminate the variables of handloading while maintaining quality control.
This ammunition is manufactured to Remington's standards and is suitable for hunters who prefer factory loads and want consistency from box to box. Store in a cool, dry place, and handle according to all standard ammunition safety protocols.

This load is designed for medium-game hunting including deer, antelope, and similar-sized animals. The 117-grain soft-point bullet provides the expansion and weight retention expected of Core-Lokt ammunition at hunting distances typical for the .257 Roberts cartridge.
This is a soft-point design, featuring a tapered copper jacket locked to a solid lead core. It expands on impact while retaining weight for deep penetration and reliable terminal performance.
Each case contains 10 boxes of 20 rounds each, for a total of 200 rounds per case. This is a convenient quantity for hunters who prefer to stock ammunition in bulk.
Core-Lokt's design centers on the mechanical lock between the tapered copper jacket and solid lead core, which promotes controlled expansion and consistent weight retention. This design has been refined over many years of hunting use across various game and conditions.
