For hunters who need reliable expansion at distance, Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 308 Winchester ammunition pairs a 180 grain polymer tip projectile with the Core-Lokt jacket design that has anchored game across North America for decades. The 308 Winchester cartridge remains one of the most versatile hunting chamberings in production — capable of taking whitetail, mule deer, black bear, and hogs from 50 to 300 yards with proper shot placement. This specific load pushes the 180 grain polymer tip bullet to 2640 feet per second at the muzzle, delivering 2785 foot-pounds of energy and a ballistic coefficient of 0.48 for reduced wind drift and extended supersonic flight compared to flat-base designs.
Load Profile
The polymer tip initiates expansion on impact while the rear-biased center of gravity improves in-flight stability. Remington engineers the Core-Lokt jacket to control expansion depth — the lead core stays locked to the copper jacket through hide, muscle, and bone. Boxer-primed brass cases are reloadable, and the non-corrosive primer keeps your rifle bore cleaner between range sessions and hunting trips. Each box contains 20 rounds.
