For hunters running lever-action 30-30 rifles in thick timber or open ridges, the Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 150 grain load extends effective range without sacrificing terminal performance. The polymer tip sheds the flat-nose aerodynamic penalty common to tubular-magazine loads, flattening trajectory by 15-20% over conventional soft-points at 200 yards while initiating expansion the instant it contacts tissue. Remington positions this as the natural evolution of the Core-Lokt platform — same bonded lead core, same controlled expansion, now with better downrange energy retention. 30-30 Winchester remains the benchmark deer cartridge east of the Mississippi; this load brings it into the 21st century.
Load Profile
The 150 grain Core-Lokt Tipped projectile uses a mechanically bonded lead core surrounded by a gilding-metal jacket, capped with a green polymer tip. On impact, the tip drives rearward into a hollow cavity, forcing jacket petals outward in a controlled mushroom that holds 85-90% of original weight through bone and muscle. Remington engineers moved the center of gravity rearward to stabilize the longer ogive, which measures 0.308″ diameter at the bearing surface and seats to an overall cartridge length compatible with Winchester, Marlin, and Henry lever-action magazines. Boxer primers mean you can reload the brass; non-corrosive propellant keeps fouling minimal. Each case headstamps “R-P 30-30 WIN.”

This load ships in 20-round boxes, factory-fresh from U.S. manufacturing. For hunters zeroing at 100 yards and taking shots inside 200, the polymer tip carries enough velocity to expand reliably on shoulder shots while the bonded core penetrates deep enough for quartering-away angles. Review current 30-30 ammo inventory for additional grain weights and projectile styles if you need more penetration or less meat damage.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Follow the four rules of firearms safety at all times — treat every firearm as loaded, never point at anything you’re not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, know your target and what’s beyond it.
- Verify current federal, state, and local ammunition regulations in your jurisdiction before purchasing — some states restrict online ammunition sales or require permits.
- This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling; avoid inhaling dust during reloading. See www.P65Warnings.ca.gov for details.
