Controlled expansion and consistent terminal performance are the twin goals for any hunting load, and the right cartridge can make the difference between a clean ethical harvest and an uncertain outcome. A bullet that expands reliably while retaining weight gives predictable wound channels and dependable penetration—critical in field conditions where shot placement must be trusted.

Design and Ballistic Consistency

REMINGTON CORE-LOKT uses the original controlled expansion concept: a progressively tapered copper jacket mechanically locked to a solid lead core. That construction forces predictable expansion while preserving a high percentage of the bullet’s mass. You’ll find the design in both soft point and pointed soft point profiles and across a range of bullet weights, making this line adaptable to virtually every centerfire hunting caliber. As ammunition for serious hunting applications, price per box starts at $31.99, reflecting its long-standing reputation for performance.

Field Applications and Tactical Considerations

Because CORE-LOKT preserves weight and delivers expansion reliably, it’s well suited to medium and large game where penetration and controlled tissue disruption are priorities. The pointed soft point options improve feeding in bolt and semi-auto platforms and offer better ballistic coefficients for flatter trajectories at extended ranges. The availability in various bullet weights gives shooters flexibility to match cartridge choice, hunting scenario, and local regulations.

Accuracy and Terminal Performance

From a tactical perspective, predictable terminal effects reduce variables in follow-up decision-making after the shot. The locked jacket/core interface minimizes core-jacket separation, reducing deformation and increasing retained mass—this translates to deeper wound channels and improved recovery of energy on target. Shooters report consistent grouping potential when loads are developed around their rifle’s chambering and barrel twist.
