Frequently Asked Questions
What big game is the .280 Rem 140-grain Core-Lokt PSP best suited for?
The .280 Remington 140-grain Core-Lokt PSP is an outstanding choice for medium to large big game, including whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn, black bear, and elk at moderate ranges. The controlled expansion design ensures the bullet mushrooms reliably without fragmenting, delivering deep penetration and effective energy transfer for clean, ethical harvests.
How does Core-Lokt's controlled expansion work compared to other hunting bullets?
Remington's Core-Lokt technology features a tapered copper jacket that is mechanically locked to a solid lead core. Upon impact, this design controls the rate of expansion to achieve approximately 2X the original bullet diameter while retaining the majority of its weight. This balance of expansion and penetration gives Core-Lokt an edge over basic soft points that may fragment prematurely or over-penetrate without adequate expansion.
Is the .280 Remington a good long-range hunting cartridge?
Yes — the .280 Remington is well-regarded for its flat trajectory and manageable recoil. With the 140-grain PSP leaving the muzzle at approximately 2,990 fps, it maintains sufficient velocity and energy for ethical kills on deer-sized game out to 400 yards in favorable conditions. For longer shots, wind drift and holdover should be carefully accounted for, and hunters should confirm zero and ballistic data with their specific rifle before the hunt.
