Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Core-Lokt bullet different from a standard soft point?
The Core-Lokt design features a tapered copper jacket that is mechanically locked to a solid lead core, preventing jacket-core separation during expansion. This produces a controlled, double-diameter mushroom that retains a high percentage of its original weight — resulting in deeper penetration and more consistent wound channels compared to standard soft point bullets.
Is the 7mm-08 140-grain PSP suitable for deer-sized game at longer ranges?
Yes. The 7mm-08 Remington is widely regarded as an outstanding deer cartridge, and the 140-grain PSP load launches at approximately 2,860 fps with over 2,500 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Its flat trajectory and retained velocity make it effective and ethical on deer, pronghorn, and similar game out to 300 yards and beyond under field conditions.
Is this ammunition reloadable?
Yes. Remington Core-Lokt ammunition is loaded in reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers, making spent casings compatible with standard reloading dies and equipment. Hunters who reload can resize and reload these cases multiple times, making this an economical and practical choice for high-volume shooters and handloaders.
