Remington Ammunition 28989 Core-Lokt Tipped 7mmBC 175gr 20 Per Box/10 Case
Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 7mm Backcountry ammunition delivers the reliability hunters have trusted for generations, now enhanced with modern ballistic engineering. Built on the foundation of Core-Lokt's legendary jacket technology, this 175-grain load pairs proven terminal performance with a polymer tip designed to flatten trajectory and improve long-range accuracy. Whether you're glassing high country for elk or planning a precision hunt across open terrain, this round bridges traditional big-game performance with the ballistic advantages serious long-range hunters demand.
The Core-Lokt Tipped design shifts the center of gravity rearward to optimize in-flight stability, which means tighter groups at distance and more consistent bullet flight. The green polymer tip serves dual duty: it improves aerodynamics for flatter trajectories and initiates rapid expansion on impact. Paired with the time-tested Core-Lokt jacket—engineered specifically for controlled expansion on big game—you get the combination of accuracy and terminal energy that has made this ammunition the go-to choice for hunters worldwide.
Each box contains 20 rounds, with convenient 10-box cases available for serious hunters who plan to practice and hunt with the same load all season. The 175-grain bullet weight and .540 ballistic coefficient make this load particularly effective at extended range, where premium ballistics and consistent velocity become critical factors in clean, ethical kills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Core-Lokt Tipped ammunition suitable for long-range hunting?
Yes. The polymer tip, rearward center-of-gravity design, and .540 ballistic coefficient combine to deliver flatter trajectories and improved accuracy at distance, making this load well-suited for long-range big-game hunting.
What game is this 7mm Backcountry load designed for?
This 175-grain load is engineered for big-game hunting. The Core-Lokt jacket is specifically tuned for controlled expansion and terminal performance on large animals.
How many rounds are in a standard box?
Each box contains 20 rounds. Cases contain 10 boxes for a total of 200 rounds.
What does the polymer tip do?
The green polymer tip serves two functions: it improves the ballistic coefficient for flatter flight and extended range, and it initiates rapid expansion upon impact for effective terminal performance.
