The Remington Core-Lokt 30-30 Winchester delivers a 150 grain jacketed soft point at 2390 feet per second — a medium-game load engineered for lever-action rifles and whitetail-class hunting inside 200 yards. Core-Lokt technology mechanically locks the lead core to the copper jacket during expansion, maintaining 70-80% weight retention across impact velocities from 1800 to 2400 fps. This 30-30 Winchester ammunition exits the muzzle with 1902 foot-pounds of energy and prints consistent groups in tubular-magazine lever guns chambered for the cartridge.
Performance at a Glance
Remington engineers the Core-Lokt projectile with a tapered jacket that controls petal formation on impact. The 150 grain bullet reaches terminal performance thresholds at ranges where lever-action iron sights remain practical for most hunters. Remington loads each round in new-production boxer-primed brass cases suitable for handloading after firing. The jacketed soft point profile feeds reliably through tubular magazines without risk of primer detonation under recoil.

The 150 grain weight balances penetration depth with expansion diameter on whitetail deer, hogs, and black bear inside 150 yards. Core retention through bone and tissue ensures exit wounds on broadside shots through the vitals. This 30-30 ammo ships 20 rounds per box with boxer primers seated in reloadable brass cases.
