Choosing the right hunting ammunition is a tactical decision that affects terminal performance, ethical kills, and follow-up tracking. Consistent expansion, weight retention, and reliable construction are non-negotiable when you’re counting on each shot to do its job.

REMINGTON CORE-LOKT is the original controlled expansion bullet and one of the most effective designs ever developed. Its progressively tapered copper jacket is locked to a solid lead core, promoting perfectly controlled expansion and high weight retention for absolutely dependable on-game results. You’ll find that time-proven performance in both soft point and pointed soft point versions and across a range of bullet weights suited to virtually every centerfire hunting caliber made.

Design advantages for practical hunters

The CoreLokt construction locks jacket to core, limiting fragmentation and maximizing retained mass. That delivers straight wound channels and deep penetration — essential for larger game or angled shots. Available in both soft point and pointed soft point configurations, the bullet provides controlled expansion across varied velocities and bullet weights, allowing you to match the load to your platform and intended game.

Ballistics, selection and real-world application

REMINGTON CORE-LOKT cartridges are offered in a range of bullet weights tailored for centerfire rifle calibers; selecting the right weight affects trajectory, terminal energy, and expansion characteristics. Pointed soft points generally help with feeding in bolt and magazine-fed rifles and improve aerodynamic performance for longer shots, while flat-based soft points shine in moderate-range hunting scenarios. Pairing the correct bullet weight with your cartridge and intended game keeps ethical, one-shot potential high.

As a Remington offering categorized under Rifle Ammo with Model listed as Various, pricing is straightforward: typical packs are listed at $52.99. That makes CoreLokt a cost-effective, time-tested choice for serious hunters who value predictable terminal performance.
