Remington Core-Lokt 45-70 Govt Reduced Pressure 405 Grain SP Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Remington Core-Lokt 45-70 Govt Reduced Pressure 405 Grain SP Ammo is purpose-built for hunters who depend on the .45-70 Government for serious big game hunting. Core-Lokt ammunition has earned its reputation over decades as a workhorse for elk, moose, and dangerous game, and this reduced-pressure load gives you that proven performance in a format that's easier on older rifles or those you want to shoot more comfortably. Each round fires a 405-grain soft point bullet at 1330 feet per second—a combination that delivers the stopping power the .45-70 is known for without the full traditional recoil.

What makes Core-Lokt stand apart is the engineering inside. The tapered copper jacket is mechanically locked to the lead core, designed to expand reliably while retaining weight through bone and muscle. That means deeper penetration and less deflection—critical when you're hunting thick-skinned, heavy-bodied game where a marginal hit can cost you. The soft point design also handles a variety of hunting scenarios, from closer brush work to moderate-range rifle hunting where that blunt .45 caliber does the talking.

This is a 20-round box, so you get enough ammunition for practice, load development, or a serious hunting season without breaking the bank. If you're running a .45-70 and want ammunition with a track record—and the reduced recoil helps you shoot more accurately—Core-Lokt deserves a place in your ammo locker.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is reduced-pressure ammunition and why would I use it?

Reduced-pressure loads fire at lower velocities and generate less recoil than full-power ammunition. They're ideal for older .45-70 rifles that may not be proofed for modern full-pressure rounds, or for shooters who want to practice or hunt with less felt recoil while still delivering effective bullet performance.

Is this ammunition suitable for hunting elk and moose?

Yes. The 405-grain Core-Lokt soft point is designed for big game hunting and delivers the penetration and expansion needed for large, heavy-bodied game when placed correctly.

Will Core-Lokt bullets work reliably in my .45-70 rifle?

Core-Lokt ammunition is manufactured to standard .45-70 Government specifications and is compatible with rifles chambered in that caliber. However, if you have a vintage or older rifle, check with the manufacturer or a gunsmith to confirm it's safe to shoot any modern ammunition.
