You’re looking at the Remington Core-Lokt 270 Winchester 130 grain jacketed soft point—the green-box load that’s accounted for more whitetail, mule deer, and elk than any other factory round in its class. Core-Lokt refers to the mechanically bonded jacket-and-core interface: during bullet construction, the copper jacket is tapered and locked to the lead core, preventing jacket-core separation on impact. At 3060 fps from a 24-inch barrel, this 270 Winchester ammo delivers 2702 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle and retains velocity downrange for flat trajectory to 300 yards.
Performance at a Glance
The 130-grain weight is the historical sweet spot for 270 Winchester—fast enough for minimal drop, heavy enough to punch through shoulder bone and penetrate vitals. The jacketed soft point exposes a lead tip that mushrooms on contact with tissue, expanding to roughly 1.5× original diameter while retaining 60–70% of bullet weight. Energy transfer is consistent, and exit wounds are common on broadside shots inside 250 yards. Brass cases are Boxer-primed and reloadable; primers are non-corrosive. Remington manufactures this load in the United States using domestically sourced components.
