Who This Is For
This ammunition is built for serious big game hunters who demand reliable, hard-hitting performance from their .308 Winchester rifles. Whether you're pursuing elk in the Rockies, bear in dense timber, or large-bodied whitetails at distance, the Core-Lokt 180 gr PSP delivers the penetration and expansion needed for clean, ethical harvests. It's equally at home in bolt-action hunting rifles and semi-automatic platforms chambered in .308 Win or 7.62×51 NATO.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size game is the 308 Win 180 gr Core-Lokt PSP best suited for?
The 180-grain Core-Lokt PSP is optimized for large and heavy big game animals including elk, moose, black bear, and large-bodied mule deer or whitetail deer. The heavier 180-grain bullet retains more energy at distance and drives deeper through heavy muscle and bone compared to lighter .308 loads, making it an excellent choice for shots through heavy cover or at steeper angles where maximum penetration matters.
Will this ammunition cycle reliably in semi-automatic .308 rifles and AR-10 platforms?
Yes. Remington Core-Lokt .308 Win ammunition is loaded to SAAMI specifications and functions reliably in the vast majority of .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 NATO semi-automatic platforms, including AR-10-pattern rifles. As always, consult your firearm's manual for recommended bullet weights and pressure specifications, as some gas systems are tuned for specific load ranges.
How does the Core-Lokt PSP differ from a standard soft point bullet?
The Core-Lokt design features a tapered copper jacket that is mechanically locked to the lead core — preventing separation on impact and dramatically improving weight retention over a standard soft point. The pointed tip of the PSP version also provides a higher ballistic coefficient than a flat-tip soft point, resulting in a flatter trajectory and better performance at longer hunting ranges. Together, these features deliver the consistent 2X expansion and deep penetration Core-Lokt has been known for since 1939.
