For big-game hunters pushing shot distances beyond 400 yards, the Remington Core-Lokt Tipped 7mm PRC delivers proven terminal performance with the long-range ballistics the PRC cartridge was engineered to exploit. This load pairs a 175-grain polymer-tipped bullet with match-tuned propellant and factory-fresh brass, chambered in 7mm Precision Rifle Cartridge — a modern magnum round designed for flat trajectory, high retained energy, and consistent accuracy across hunting distances that previously required custom handloads. Each 20-round box ships with Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading, letting you tailor follow-up loads to your rifle once you’ve confirmed zero and drop with factory ammunition.
Load Profile
The Core-Lokt Tipped bullet applies a polymer tip to Remington’s bonded-core design, a construction method that’s accounted for more big-game harvests in North America than any other expanding projectile. The tip improves ballistic coefficient over traditional soft-point profiles, flattening trajectory and reducing wind drift at distance. On impact, the polymer wedges into the jacket, initiating expansion while the bonded core resists fragmentation — you get a wound channel wide enough for quick lethality without losing penetration on heavy bone or angled shots. The 175-grain weight balances sectional density for deep penetration with enough velocity at the muzzle to stay supersonic past 800 yards in standard atmospheric conditions, making this load viable for western hunting where shots across canyons or open sage demand both precision and retained energy.

The 7mm PRC cartridge was introduced in 2023 as a modern magnum optimized for high-BC bullets in long-action rifles, directly competing with hand-loaded 7mm Remington Magnum and 28 Nosler at shorter overall lengths that cycle reliably in magazine-fed hunting rifles. Factory ammunition like this Core-Lokt Tipped load gives hunters immediate access to match-grade ballistics without the time and tooling investment of handloading, while the reloadable brass lets you refine loads once you’ve verified zero. Explore the full 7mm PRC ammo selection for target and match loads if you plan to practice extensively before season.
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.
- Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, finger off the trigger until sights are on target and you’ve decided to shoot, be certain of your target and what lies beyond it, and treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Review the four rules of firearms safety before handling any ammunition.
- Verify that your state and local jurisdiction permit the purchase, possession, and use of this ammunition type and bullet construction. Some areas restrict lead-core projectiles on public land or during certain hunting seasons.
- This ammunition contains lead, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm under Proposition 65. Wash hands after handling ammunition and components. Use adequate ventilation during reloading.
