Remington .30-06 Springfield Core-Lokt SP Ammo FAQ:

While primarily designed for hunting, this ammunition can be used for long-range shooting within ethical hunting distances. Its high ballistic coefficient of .248 helps maintain velocity and resist wind drift, contributing to accuracy at extended ranges.
Yes, the brass cases of this ammunition are reloadable. Many hunters and shooters choose to reload their spent casings to customize their loads or reduce costs over time.
The Core-Lokt bullet is designed to expand to up to 1.5 times its original diameter upon impact. This controlled expansion creates a larger wound channel while the locked core ensures the bullet retains much of its weight for deep penetration.
While effective, this ammunition may have significant recoil for beginners. New shooters should practice with lighter loads first and work their way up to this full-power hunting ammunition under proper guidance.
While exact trajectories depend on the specific rifle and sight-in distance, this bullet generally drops about 3-4 inches at 200 yards and 10-12 inches at 300 yards when sighted in at 100 yards. The high BC helps maintain a relatively flat trajectory.
Yes, this ammunition can be used in semi-automatic rifles, as well as bolt-action and other .30-06 rifle types. However, always ensure your firearm is in good condition and rated for full-power loads.
Most .30-06 rifles have a 1:10" twist rate, which is well-suited for stabilizing this 180-grain bullet. However, this ammunition will generally perform well in standard .30-06 barrels with twist rates ranging from 1:10" to 1:12".
While bonded-core bullets may offer slightly better weight retention, the Core-Lokt design has proven itself highly effective for most hunting applications. It offers a good balance of performance and value, making it a popular choice among hunters for decades.
