The Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 30-06 Springfield ammo merges proven jacket technology with a polymer tip that improves ballistic coefficient and initiates rapid expansion on game. This is Remington Core-Lokt — the load that has anchored deer, elk, and black bear across North America for decades — now engineered for flatter trajectory and better accuracy at extended range. If you hunt open country where a 300-yard shot is routine, the 165 grain polymer tip delivers the energy and penetration you need without the BC penalty of a flat-base soft point.
Built for the Box
Each round chambers a 165 grain polymer tip bullet seated in a brass case with a Boxer primer. The polymer tip shifts the center of gravity rearward, stabilizing the bullet in flight and improving grouping. On impact, the tip drives into the lead core, initiating controlled expansion while the mechanically locked jacket keeps the core and jacket together. Muzzle velocity clocks 2820 feet per second from a 24-inch barrel, generating 2913 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. The G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.447 means you retain more velocity downrange than traditional flat-base Core-Lokt loads, translating to less drop and drift past 200 yards.
The Numbers

| Caliber | 30-06 Springfield |
| Bullet weight | 165 Grains |
| Bullet type | Polymer Tip |
| Muzzle velocity | 2820 Feet Per Second |
| Muzzle energy | 2913 Foot Pounds |
| G1 Ballistic Coefficient | 0.447 |

The brass cases are reloadable, and the non-corrosive Boxer primers simplify decapping and repriming. For bolt-action rifles chambered in 30-06 ammo, this load cycles reliably and groups inside 1.5 MOA from most hunting rifles with quality barrels.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun 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.
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded; keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction; keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire; be certain of your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify current federal, state, and local laws regarding ammunition purchase, possession, and transport before ordering.
- This ammunition contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling and avoid prolonged exposure to powder residue.
