Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 165-grain Core-Lokt PSP a good choice for elk hunting?
Yes — the 165-grain weight is widely considered one of the best all-around options for elk in 30-06 Springfield. The Core-Lokt's controlled expansion and high weight retention ensure deep penetration into the large, heavy-boned body of an elk, providing the energy transfer needed for clean, ethical kills even at extended ranges. Many experienced elk hunters consider it the benchmark by which other hunting bullets are judged.
How does the Pointed Soft Point (PSP) differ from a standard Soft Point bullet?
The Pointed Soft Point (PSP) features a more aerodynamic, spitzer-style tip compared to a round-nose soft point. This translates into a higher ballistic coefficient, a flatter trajectory, and better long-range performance — making it a superior choice when shots may extend beyond 200 yards in open terrain. Upon impact, both designs initiate rapid mushrooming expansion, but the PSP retains a ballistic edge in flight.
Can I use this ammunition in any standard 30-06 Springfield rifle?
Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 Springfield ammunition is compatible with any rifle chambered in 30-06 Springfield, including bolt-action, semi-automatic, and lever-action designs. Always verify your rifle's minimum bullet weight recommendations in the owner's manual. The 165-grain load works exceptionally well in popular 30-06 platforms such as the Remington 700, Winchester Model 70, Ruger American, and Browning X-Bolt.
