When selecting centerfire rifle ammo for hunting or precision field use, proven terminal performance and predictable expansion are non-negotiable. Experienced shooters choose rounds that deliver on both energy transfer and weight retention so follow-through decisions in the field are straightforward and ethical.

REMINGTON CORE-LOKT is the long-standing answer for controlled expansion. The CoreLokt bullet design is the original controlled expansion bullet: a progressively tapered copper jacket locked to a solid lead core that promotes perfectly controlled expansion and high weight retention. You’ll find its time-proven performance in both soft point and pointed soft point versions and in a range of bullet weights for virtually every centerfire hunting caliber made. Shop this product

Design and Terminal Performance

The engineering behind REMINGTON CORE-LOKT emphasizes consistency: the tapered copper jacket and locked core encourage predictable mushrooming across a wide range of velocities. That controlled expansion maximizes retained weight and penetration, which matters when passing through hide and tissue to reach vital zones. Available in both soft point and pointed soft point profiles, the CoreLokt lineup lets hunters match bullet shape to trajectory and terminal needs.

Why the jacket-core lock matters

Locking the jacket to the lead core prevents jacket-core separation that can rob a bullet of penetration and energy transfer. The result is reliable expansion without excessive fragmentation—especially important when ethical, one-shot results are the goal.

Field Applications and Caliber Options

Listed under the Rifle Ammo category, REMINGTON CORE-LOKT covers virtually every centerfire hunting caliber. From deer-sized game to larger species when using heavier bullet weights, the various Remington models and bullet weights let you tune performance for range, recoil tolerance, and terminal effect. The pointed soft point versions offer improved ballistic coefficients for longer shots, while traditional soft points excel in brush or close-range work.

Price is straightforward: many boxes are priced at $38.99, making CoreLokt an accessible option for regular practice and seasonal preparation. View product details and pricing
