The Remington Core-Lokt 25-06 Remington load combines a 100 grain jacketed soft point bullet with 3230 feet per second muzzle velocity — a flat-shooting combination for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game at extended range. The 25-06 Remington cartridge is a necked-down .30-06 case, offering exceptional velocity in a mild-recoiling package. Remington’s Core-Lokt bullet design locks a progressively tapered copper jacket to a solid lead core, controlling expansion while retaining weight through hide, bone, and tissue.
Load Profile
This load generates 2316 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle and maintains supersonic velocity well past 500 yards, thanks to the 0.292 G1 ballistic coefficient. The jacketed soft point construction initiates expansion on impact while the mechanically bonded core resists fragmentation. Brass cases accept Boxer primers and reload cleanly; the non-corrosive propellant leaves minimal fouling. Each 20-round box ships DOT-regulated via ground service.

For hunters working open country where shots stretch beyond 300 yards, the velocity advantage of the 25-06 Remington flattens trajectory and reduces wind drift compared to slower cartridges in the same class. Browse our full selection of 25-06 ammo for additional bullet weights and load styles.
