Remington Core-Lokt Ammunition 308 Winchester 180 Grain Pointed Soft Point 20RD

The Remington Core-Lokt 308 Winchester 180 Grain Pointed Soft Point is a trusted round for hunters pursuing medium to large game. This is the ammunition that built Remington's reputation for field performance—it's been the go-to choice for hunters across North America and beyond since 1939. The 180-grain projectile delivers the controlled expansion and reliability that have made Core-Lokt the best-selling hunting load for generations.

What sets Core-Lokt apart is its engineering: a tapered copper jacket mechanically locked to a solid lead core. This design ensures controlled expansion on impact while retaining bullet weight for deep, consistent penetration. The pointed soft point profile helps maintain velocity and trajectory compared to round-nose alternatives, making it effective at typical hunting distances and comfortable to shoot in bolt-action rifles and semi-autos alike.

At a muzzle velocity of 2620 fps and a ballistic coefficient of 0.383, the 180-grain Core-Lokt strikes a balance between energy retention and manageable recoil—ideal for hunters who want stopping power without unnecessarily heavy recoil. Each box contains 20 rounds, making it easy to stock up for hunting season or the range. If you hunt elk, moose, deer, or other big game with a .308, this is ammunition with a proven track record.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game can I hunt with 308 Winchester 180-grain Core-Lokt?

The 180-grain Core-Lokt is designed for medium to large game, including deer, elk, moose, and similar-sized animals. It delivers the penetration and expansion needed for reliable, ethical kills at typical hunting ranges.

How does the Core-Lokt bullet expand?

The tapered copper jacket is mechanically locked to a solid lead core, which produces controlled expansion (approximately 2X the original diameter) while retaining bullet weight. This design balances energy transfer with deep penetration for consistent results in the field.

Is 2620 fps fast enough for hunting?

Yes. The muzzle velocity of 2620 fps is the standard performance level for .308 Winchester hunting ammunition and is sufficient for effective hunting ranges. Combined with the 180-grain weight and ballistic coefficient of 0.383, this round retains velocity and energy effectively downrange.
