Frequently Asked Questions
What big game is the 260 Rem 140-grain PSP suitable for hunting?
The 260 Remington with a 140-grain Core-Lokt PSP is an excellent choice for whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, black bear, and similar-sized North American big game. Its controlled expansion and high weight retention make it effective at both close and moderate long-range hunting distances, typically out to 400 yards in capable hands.
How does the Core-Lokt bullet construction improve terminal performance?
The Core-Lokt design features a tapered copper jacket that is mechanically locked to a solid lead core. On impact, this construction produces reliable 2X mushrooming expansion — meaning the bullet reliably doubles in diameter — while retaining the majority of its original weight. The result is a wide wound channel and deep penetration that maximizes energy transfer and minimizes tracking distance after the shot.
Is the brass casing reloadable, and what dies work with 260 Remington brass?
Yes, Remington Core-Lokt ammunition is loaded in high-quality, reloadable brass cases. Once fired, the cases can be resized and reloaded using standard 260 Remington reloading dies from manufacturers such as RCBS, Redding, Hornady, or Lee. As with any reloading project, inspect cases for signs of wear or damage before reuse and follow established load data from a reputable reloading manual.
