Remington Core-Lokt Ammunition 30-30 Winchester 170 Grain Core-Lokt Soft Point 20RD
The Remington Core-Lokt 30-30 Winchester 170 grain ammunition is built on decades of field-proven performance for deer and medium-sized game at hunting ranges. This soft point load delivers the controlled expansion and weight retention that have made Core-Lokt the go-to choice for generations of North American hunters. At 2,200 feet per second muzzle velocity, the 170-grain bullet generates 1,827 foot-pounds of energy—enough to anchor game cleanly when you do your part on the shot.
Core-Lokt's design is elegantly simple: a tapered copper jacket mechanically locked to a solid lead core. That construction allows the bullet to expand in a controlled manner on impact while retaining sufficient mass to drive through to the vitals. The result is consistent performance across a wide range of game conditions, from close-range shots in timber to longer work across open country. This isn't exotic ammunition chasing marginal velocity gains; it's a workhorse that prioritizes reliability over flash.
Loaded in convenient 20-round boxes, this ammunition fits easily into a hunting pack or truck bed without taking up much real estate. For hunters running a 30-30 lever-action rifle—whether it's a classic Marlin, Winchester, or Henry—Core-Lokt pairs perfectly with the cartridge's proven track record. The 170-grain weight is the traditional standard for 30-30 hunting applications and strikes a good balance between power and the moderate recoil the caliber is known for.
If you've got a 30-30 in the safe and tag season is approaching, Core-Lokt remains a sensible, no-nonsense choice backed by more than 75 years of hunter success stories.
