Remington’s Core-Lokt Tipped 6.5 Creedmoor hunting ammo extends the reach of one of the most proven bullet designs in American hunting history. The 129-grain polymer-tip projectile combines the expansion reliability of the original Core-Lokt jacket with improved ballistic coefficient (0.485 G1) for flatter trajectory and retained energy at extended range. Launched at 2945 feet per second with 2484 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, this load delivers match-grade accuracy with big-game lethality from white-tail to elk-sized game. 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition is a centerfire rifle cartridge designed for precision shooting and medium-game hunting at distances where trajectory and wind drift matter. Each round is assembled with boxer-primed, reloadable brass and non-corrosive components, suitable for hunters who roll their own or prefer factory consistency.
Built for the Box
The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion on impact while the rear-weighted center of gravity stabilizes flight for tighter groups at distance. Remington engineers the Core-Lokt jacket to control expansion and retain mass through bone and heavy muscle, a design that has anchored game since 1939. The 129-grain weight strikes a balance between velocity and sectional density, retaining 1800+ fps and 900+ ft-lbs past 300 yards when zeroed at 200. Boxer primers allow reloaders to repurpose the once-fired brass; non-corrosive powder and primers extend barrel life. Country of origin: United States. DOT-regulated for ground shipping only.
