The Remington Premier CuT 30-06 Springfield ammo answers the question hunters ask when they hunt lead-restricted zones: can you get deep penetration, flat trajectories, and violent energy transfer from an all-copper bullet? This 165-grain polymer-tip projectile leaves the muzzle at 2820 fps and carries 2913 ft-lbs of energy downrange. Remington machines each bullet from monolithic copper alloy—no lead core, no fragmentation risk, no compliance headaches. You get a hunting round that meets California, Oregon, and national wildlife refuge lead bans while still punching through shoulders and delivering full wound channels on elk, mule deer, and black bear.
Built for the Box
Remington loads this round with a polymer tip that initiates expansion on contact. The tip drives into the hollow cavity at the bullet’s nose, forcing the copper petals outward and creating a wide frontal diameter as the projectile penetrates. Precision grooves cut into the bullet’s shank reduce bearing surface, lowering pressure spikes and improving accuracy without sacrificing BC. Remington seats each bullet in new-production brass with Boxer primers—corrosion-free, reloadable, and compatible with your standard die sets.

This load holds 95% of its weight through bone and tissue, creating a straight wound channel from entry to exit. The polymer tip and engineered grooves keep the bullet stable at extended distances—you zero at 200 yards and hold center-mass on deer at 300 without Kentucky windage. For hunters running bolt-actions or semi-autos chambered in 30-06 ammo, this is the lead-free option that doesn’t require you to re-learn your drop tables.
