The Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 Springfield 220 grain jacketed soft point remains the load hunters reach for when they need predictable expansion and deep penetration on heavy game. This 30-06 Springfield ammo pushes a 220 grain Core-Lokt bullet at 2410 feet per second, generating 2837 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle — a proven combination for elk, moose, and black bear at woods distances. The progressively tapered copper jacket locks to the lead core, controlling expansion while retaining mass through bone and tissue.
