Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Core-Lokt bullet design different from standard soft points?
The Core-Lokt is Remington's original controlled-expansion bullet, featuring a tapered copper jacket that is mechanically locked to a solid lead core. This proprietary bonding process prevents the core from separating on impact, delivering reliable 2X diameter mushrooming and exceptional weight retention — typically 85% or better — for deeper, more effective wound channels compared to traditional cup-and-core soft points.
Is this 300 WSM load appropriate for elk and larger North American game?
Yes. The 180-grain bullet weight is widely regarded as an excellent choice for elk, mule deer, black bear, and similar large-bodied game in 300 WSM. The heavier 180-grain projectile offers superior sectional density and momentum retention compared to lighter 150-grain options, making it especially effective at longer ranges and when quartering shots demand maximum penetration through bone and muscle.
Can I use this ammunition for target shooting or is it purely for hunting?
While Core-Lokt is designed and optimized for hunting applications, it can be used for zeroing your rifle and confirming point of impact before a hunt. However, for extended range practice sessions, a less expensive full metal jacket (FMJ) or practice load in 300 WSM would be more cost-effective. Save your Core-Lokt rounds for field use where reliable terminal performance truly matters.
